Pros

Great stable company to work for. Training is second to none. Competitive overall compensation package. Great location if you live north of the city. Lots of opportunity to move within the organization.

Cons

Not downtown where most of our clients and competition are located. Base salary is less than competition.

Business Outlook

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

Benefits are great, and the relationships you can build with your co-workers is great. Also, depending on the position, there is room for progression through the company, whether it be within the Operation offices or in the Corporate environment.

Cons

For some, I hear that the pay is not that good. Also, Management does not give feedback and does not like to be wrong or be criticized.
