Pros

Benifits are good pension is good.

Cons

No work life balance. You are expected to work an extra 1/2 hour a day for a day off. Then you are expected to use that day off for all of your appointments. Seniority means nothing. Oppertunities to take courses are based on a lottery system, however you are required to take courses for your performance appraisal. Too many underwriting changes almost daily, left to interpret wordings no clarification given. Very little training, don't invest in their resources.

Pros

The work life balance at Economical Insurance is very good. The management wants you to succeed and invest heavily in your career growth and training. As with most jobs, paying attention to detail and constantly making an effort to do better at your job will not go unnoticed.

Cons

The management can sometimes be inefficient in decision making as this company is making a transition to compete better within the P&C Insurance industry. Other than that, there aren't many cons of working here really.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m happy to hear work/life balance, growth, and recognition are rewarding aspects of your career with Economical. And yes, it’s a time of exciting changes as we set out to achieve our vision to be one of Canada’s top P&C insurers and become the first Canadian P&C insurance company to successfully demutualize. The changes and decisions required to accomplish our ambitious goals can seem daunting at times, but we’re encouraged by the momentum we’re gaining and the buzz it’s generating: Economical was honoured as “P&C Insurer of the Year” at the 2016 Insurance Business Awards, and we reimagined the insurance experience with the launch of our digital direct brand Sonnet — the first Canadian P&C insurance company that allows customers to quote and buy online. Thank you for your support and contributions as we deliver on our strategy.

Pros

Lots of learning from all the staff. Everyone has a wide range of abilities and know what they are doing.

Cons

Could be very boring at times, not very many non work related team-building events. From a development perspective work could get really bogged down from outdated technologies and security/legal protocols.
