Pros
I did not wake up one day deciding that I needed to go into insurance for a living. However, when an exciting opportunity arose to work for FM Global, I took it! Only later would I come to understand that I had made one of the best career moves of my life. FM Global is a very successful insurance company that shares it successes with its clients/policyholders and its employers. The company is well run and profitable thanks to its unique business model that applies research and engineering underwriting for the benefit of protecting its clients' commercial property. This formula has helped FM Global gain attention around the world and is a source of great pride for its employees. FM Global enjoys long-term partnerships with its employees, much like its clients. It's not unusual for employees to spend their entire careers here, and employee longevity is an outcome of the happiness and professional rewards employees find in working for this company. Benefits at FM Global are among the best, including a private retirement pension in addition to a well-matched 401K plan. And, in the challenging 2009 economy, FM Global continued to issue pay raises to its employees, as a result of its successful business model. This is a well-run company which challenges and holds its employees accountable for its success. If you're looking for a stable company and a rewarding career, look no further than FM Global!
Cons
FM Global, by its nature of being an engineering-based insurance company, tends to afford the most career growth opportunity to employees with engineering degrees and backgrounds. An individual with an engineering background has unbridled growth opportunities at this company. That said, with the engineering industry largely populated by men, women without engineering degrees will find it challenges to climb to the highest levels of FM Global. However, if that's not your goal, ANYONE can find a rewarding and exciting career at FM Global!
