Pros

Benefits are on par with similar professional jobs, much better than would usually be available for many administrative or non- technical positions. There is a pension, but you pay for it in salary. 6% @ 100% 401k match. Good work atmosphere. Employees believe in the company, and we have a really good product to sell. Sincere focus on inclusion and diversity, but these are newer initiatives. These will pay dividends but haven’t had time to make significant impact yet. Emphasis on ‘Yet’

Cons

Pay is comparatively low. This is supposedly offset by the pension/good 401k which are more or less a Golden chain. Company ‘quietly spoken’ rule is if you ever leave you won’t be welcome back Promotions within roles are arbitrary and not laid out with known timing or published criteria.

Pros

While the company has been going through a lot of changes in recent years (which can understandably make some employees who have been with the company for a long time feel unsettled), most of the changes have truly been for the better. Companies can't stay stagnant or they won't survive. Change is inevitable because the world is always changing. FM Global seems to be always looking to improve, to be more responsive to its clients and employees, to be even a stronger company and better positioned for the future -- both for its clients and employees. There's a reason why the company was been around for 185 years. and just came off one of its best years ever. I, along with all other employees, got a huge bonus this year, as a result of company performance. I've been with the company for many years. I love the people, the culture and the sense of purpose behind this organization.

Cons

Some people have worked for the company way too long and have gotten lazy, complacent and developed a feeling of entitlement. Part of the issue, it seems, stems from the fact that it's hard to get fired from FM Global. While every organization has pockets of these type of people, it would be good if the company made more of an effort to clear those small pockets of 'dead wood.' Fortunately, the vast majority of employees are highly driven and committed to adding value every day and continuing to make the company a great organization.
