Pros
Amazing people, great environment! BCAA was a big school for me, moving from a Senior Developer role to ScrumMaster. I always had the appropriate support from management, and that was key for the agile adoption within our area.
Great CEO & long-term Vision. Benefits are fantastic! Flexibility.Cons
I believe someone posted under my title... Just to be clear, I had a great experience! It was a hard decision for mr to leave the company!
Advice to Management
Keep up with the hard work! On my opinion, you guys are on the right path!

Pros
Great people to work with, good benefits, a lot of recognition, opportunities to gain new skills in different kinds of insurance, and competitive pay with commission. From experience, amazing place to work while you're a university student or new graduate who's starting out.
Cons
Opportunities to move up in corporate ladder are very limited and can take a LONG time. Good place to gain experience and use as leverage when applying for other jobs as BCAA is very well-known.
Advice to Management
Speed up hiring process when service locations are short-staffed.

Pros
Good training process. Comfortable office
Cons
Zero communication about salary . HR does not respond to concerns
Advice to Management
Absolutely no full time employee can afford to work here . Our hiring class all received less than $800 per cheque ( membership services makes approximately $1500 a month at best). When requested a detailed understanding of what my pay stub looked like at three times feeling shorted, no one provided this . It doesn’t matter how nice the office is, if your own people can’t afford to pay their bills, no one is going to be happy here . The job is easy but there is no way to live on this amount of money . For that reason I quit . I would say they need to put less into their salad bar and more into making it so full time employees can pay their bills . Would not recommend unless you are a student who lives at home or has a spouse who pays the bills .

Pros
Subsidized cafeteria

Poor management
Short staffed
Terrible moral
Managers do NOT have your back when they've already agreed with you on something and customer pushes/complains. They turn around and agree with the customer and make you seem like the bad cop.
Bad training for new hires with zero/little experience. They're NOT equipped to handle the claims they're handling.
You're pretty much set up to fail at your job (because of the workload) so don't count on a good job review either.Advice to Management
As the whole claims department - we've asked and asked many many time to change how claims are handled (more black and white - too much paying out claims that we're not suppose to pay out on. Ie. Fence rot...).
Super short staffed = swamped with files
If I could warn everyone to not apply into the claims department...I would. Avoid going into the claims department if you could. It's a very toxic environment to work in.BCAA 2019-01-21 16:39 PST![BCAA Logo]()

Terrible place to work for. Don't keep up their promises and make your life a living hell when you leave. Don't feel any support and empathy is fake.
