Uses a lot of Contractors

Pros

Consistent, reliable place to work. Very good benefits. Average pay.

Cons

They like to use a lot of contract people, like Deloitte instead of using their own to do big projects. This leaves employee worried and not having a lot to keep busy. They are also secretive and don't communicate well with employees on.

Thank you for providing your feedback and concerns. Our transformational projects are exciting and we do our best to give opportunities to employees, while also recognizing when we need the help of specific experts from the industry. By using consulting services, we avoid having to resize our workforce before and after project delivery. We believe this is less disruptive to the day-to-day work of our teams, given the number of shorter term initiatives underway. We do appreciate your observations and can use your feedback to make sure we continue to identify interesting opportunities for employees where possible.

Thank you for outlining some points for consideration as we work to keep raising the bar as a company. We’re pleased to hear you experienced good work life balance in your time here. We hear from many employees that this is a valued part of their employment experience. Economical is working through a number of transformational initiatives to change the way we do business. With the size of these projects comes a certain level of uncertainty, challenge and change. But we believe the changes will allow us to remain a competitive company well into the future.

Thanks for taking the time to provide a review. It’s true that Economical is going through a lot of change. We have ambitious goals to modernize a 146-year old company to ensure we remain a top Canadian P&C insurer with our focus on our customers and to continue to be an outstanding employer. As a company we are very stable. We hold an A+ (Excellent) rating with A.M.Best for our financial strength, and our strategic changes are all to ensure we remain a healthy and competitive company well into the future. Organizational change can be a lot like going through renovations - the final outcome will be worth the short-term inconvenience.
