Burns & Wilcox Reviews

Pros

Offers the ability for growth. Great team environment, everyone is very friendly and most have a good attitude. The organization supports continued education.

Cons

Not too many cons, maybe a lack of guidance from management. Other than that, nothing bad to say I would recommend.

Pros

My onboarding experience at Burns & Wilcox has been fantastic. You never feel that you are in this alone. Management takes their time to get to know every new hire and everyone works to make you feel welcome. The work is fast-paced but you are never made to feel as though a single mistake could sink your career. You are trained very well on the systems and despite starting this role remotely during a global pandemic I found the onboarding to be superior to what I experienced in person at other organizations. Not to mention, Burns & Wilcox places a strong emphasis on continuing education and you are encouraged to take advantage of all the opportunities to obtain further certifications to help you grow as an insurance professional. You are also given credit where credit is due. We have a monthly Canada meeting amongst all of the staff in the country and every meeting I have participated in so far has included recognizing employees who have gone above and beyond in their roles. The compensation is also well above the average compensation for a similar role at other organizations. AND your work doesn't take over your life! There is a strong emphasis on work-life balance and since everyone is so willing to help all the time (there is no shirking of duties here) you never feel overwhelmed or overworked. To surmise, this is a company I will be trying to get all of my contacts in the insurance profession to join as I really do believe that their ability to recognize hard work and emphasis on work-life balance sets them apart and will contribute to this organization's success long term.

Cons

Can't think of a single con. That's how great my experience has been at this company.

Pros

The first 4 weeks were amazing. The onboarding experience was well organized, thorough and very refreshing. The entire team was very supportive during the learning phase.

Cons

None that I can think of so far :)

Pros

- Introduces you to the reality of corporate life

Cons

- Littered with office politics - hardworking employees who put in non-paid overtime are not recognized. - any questioning of their method is met with deflection (to keep you quiet).
