Pros

I believe in working for a company that believes in you. We are outgoing and involved in the community, we put on events & contribute to many local charitable events. They help build your knowledge & expertise, with promoting & supporting education & further developing your skills. There are abilities to move around the company in different positions to gain further knowledge, or find what your niche is. Also, there are always many changes within the company, constantly evolving/changing, it's never dull here! - Our company/management listens to our suggestions, this company is built on EVERYONE's strengths & abilities, not just the higher powers.

Cons

- Some people are scared or not sure with change. This can be intimidating to some. - A few departments are like a call-center atmosphere, and can be a bit overwhelming for some, unless you love talking on the phone.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. And you’re right — it’s always exciting around here! Employees often tell us our community involvement is a source of pride. Did you know that in 2016, Economical (together with employees) donated $1.2 million and more than 3,814 volunteer hours to Canadian causes and communities? We really are stronger together. Knowledge is power, so encourage colleagues who are nervous about change to stay informed about our company strategy, initiatives, and changes through our Jam Sessions and Employee Symposium events. When they have a better understanding of those changes and why we’re making them, they just might get excited about being a part of it. Some work environments require a great deal of interaction over the phone to better support customer and broker needs. We appreciate the feedback and we’re continually refreshing our recruitment practices to ensure we’re hiring and supporting candidates for those roles who excel at providing customer service over the telephone.

Pros

Economical is an organization that is committed to competing and being a rewarding place to work. The post 2010 leadership group is capable and has made many difficult decisions which are yielding results now. The company has top tier benefits and rewarding work. If you understand that it is a place of employment where you are paid for delivering output and that there are no prizes for just doing your job, it will be a great experience.

Cons

There were some challenging times and not all decisions were flawlessly made or implemented. The longer tenured employees were slow to adapt to the shift in organizational dorection which created some culture issues. This has decreased as newer staff have entered the organization and management has presented a united front for the future direction.
