Pros

The benefits package (for salary employees anyways) is excellent. The 401k matching is the most your likely to find in a Fortune 1000 company, and the health benefits are great. The company has been in business for over 175 years, and the business model is such that the company is likely to continue for another 175 years, granted a massive earthquake or flood doesn't wipe them out. Job security is very high.

Cons

Senior management is old and antiquated, ideas are stale, and the talent pool of senior management is poor. There is absolutely no incentive for performing well. Performance impacts salary increases at the bare minimum. A failure to do your job well past the first year will rarely, rarely result in termination. Even promotional opportunities result in negligible salary increases. The company is very closed minded to anything that doesn't come from their internal training program. Though the training program is excellent for an FM Global career, there is no interest in higher education such as a full time MBA. This would be something done on your own time, at your own expense.

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.
