- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Well respected company in the industry, with endless opportunities. Have only been with the company for a few months, but so far, the companies actions have matched their words. All companies tout work life balance, the importance of new colleagues, and how each employee "matters". I can truly say Burns & Wilcox backs this up with their actions as well. Being onboarded from home at a new company is always challenging, but I was very impressed with the process. First call on day 1 was with IT to make sure everything was working properly. Then scheduled calls for the next 2 weeks with various other employees to meet your colleagues, as well as to get a feel for the company culture.
Cons
Working at an MGA does impose some challenges and limitations - but the culture is to turn those challenges into opportunities. If you are lacking the capacity to chase certain business, that can be considered a con, but the culture is to find a solution, if you want to chase that business, go get the capacity and do it!

Having so much support from my team and learning tools at my finger tips
Cons
I honestly cannot think of any at this time.

Pros
Hands down, this is the best company to work for. Not only are they professional and organized, all of the staff is friendly and helpful. You are a respected team member from day 1. Any assistance you need to reach your goals, they will help you with, as they know your success = their success. I onboarded during the pandemic, and so did everything remotely. It is incredible at how proficient they are at training remotely, and helping you with IT issues from afar! I truly feel I am not a number here. Everyone from the head of the company down has met me, and knows my name. That says something at a company this large.
Cons
I don't have anything negative to say. They have really impressed me.

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.
