Pros

The ability to do work on ones own pace at a home office and a superior level of independence offered to field engineers is very unique. The pay and benefits provided is decent, but not comparable for similar roles in other insurance companies. The training provided is superior and will be greatly beneficial to anyone who goes through it.

Cons

The expectations from a field engineer are different depending on the manager you were assigned when you were hired, luck of the draw essentially. There is sometimes a huge focus on menial semantics and a lot of hidden information, or information not readily available to the field engineer, that comes back a few months down the road to affect your report qualities. These are invariably CC'd via email to half the senior managers explaining your error.

Pros

Flexible, benefits package, training provided.

Cons

It seems like you're out on your own when it comes to the job. Feedback is rarely given. There is alot of information to soak in during a short period of time, and it is difficult at times to get help.

Pros

FM Global provides all the tools needed to perform well. The list of benefits is huge. The schedule is very flexible. Not everybody can fit in this job. If you do, it can get very rewarding, at an individual level.

Cons

Extensive training is sometime a slow process. It is hard to be recognized for the work done. It can be a stressful job at some point.
