FM Global Reviews

Pros

Pay, benefits, pension, car, corporate card, vacation.

Cons

Ever changing operating standards and requirements from the top down with an expectation to stay up-to-date on sometimes conflicting information. A shift in focus from being an employee-centric company to being a metrics-driven company. Poor management, high turnover (despite advertising high retention during interview), and low morale all around (even pre-COVID). Burn out is common throughout the company. When annual metrics are met, the bar is only raised the next year. Lack of incentive to stay other than "total rewards." If you're in it for the money and can compartmentalize the rest, you'll last.

Pros

This company is a great employer and provides both competitive pay and competitive benefits. A lot of the employees in the company start right after college and stay here the entire length of their professional careers. There are many employees with sometimes four decades of technical knowledge. The company provides a pension, 401K, great PTO and a free car to those eligible and client facing. The company has been embracing the flexible work week and working from home before the pandemic and this is set to continue into the future. I feel that the company is engaged with its employees on various levels and cares about the employees. Management is very supportive and encourages personal growth and promotion within the company. The significant promotion from within is a great attribute if this company. Since the company strives to be the best for their owners (our clients), we as employees do everything to make sure we achieve that. It always makes me feel good about my job to know that our company really cares about our insureds. The company provides a great work life balance and is respectful of your time off and is also very very understanding if you our your family are in need and include generous sick days and family leave too.

Cons

It takes a while for severe underperformers to be fired, that is if that happens. Some of the negative reviews you may read reflect on the tension between employee and manager, which in my view is the drawn out personal improvement plan process and eventual departure of the employee.

Pros

Excellent coworkers and the benefits for long-term employees are fantastic. The company did an excellent job handling the pandemic.

Cons

Management is very old school and does not recognize that they are behind the times when it comes to adoption of new ways of working or technology. They also view the IT division as a cost center, not enablers of business and thus salary and career progression are far behind other firms.

Pros

Great benefits, options for career growth, acknowledgement for hard work, regular pay raises and flexible; they truly care and support work life balance.

Cons

Standard yearly bonus is based on company results not the individual but, if you work hard additional bonuses can be acquired throughout the year. Starting pay is low in comparison to some competitors. However, I was able to double my starting salary in five years with the company due to them giving merit and adjustment raises every year based on performance. Some people don't get any raises at all in five years with other companies.
