Pros

The role can be interesting if you have accounts that are active in risk improvement and/or growing. Co-workers are great and everyone works together to accomplish goals. FM provides a great work environment. The company provides a car and good work-life balance. Working for FM will provide a plethora of opportunities in the risk/insurance industry.

Cons

Pay is very low in comparison to competitors. FM stresses that competitors pay more because they do not have the training/research costs and that they are unstable. Apparently, if you leave the company, you will never be able to work for FM Global again. In order to move up the ladder, you have to physically move as turnover is low and opportunities are rare. You have to wait until someone quits or retires. The company tries too hard to differentiate themselves from the competition. Marketing efforts could be much better. FM lags in the use of technology.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
