Zurich Insurance Employee Reviews

It’s a great place to start one’s career since its salaries and benefits are competitive for entry-level positions. However, people may have to leave elsewhere to seek higher salaries after working in Zurich for some time since salary increases are not matched with inflation / costs of living. Overall, people are friendly and understanding—good place to start a career.

Pros

WFH policy, understanding management and good training program overall.

Cons

Salaries Increases Don’t show Employees appreciation or Loyalty

No job secruity

Entry level (Former Employee) - Canada - 20 July 2023

Zurich likes to hire slowly and fire quickly no one is safe my time there I have seen UAs, UWs, Executive Assistants and Executives terminated whether they worked for 2 months or 30 years. A manager with less than a year of experience is able to terminate a longer tenured employee. Zurich does not value their employees. If you care about your career, I would look elsewhere. HR is not going to help you.

Pros

Work from home

Cons

Unsupportive management

Generally a good place to work

Senior Network Engineer (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 14 April 2023

SMEs are respected and mostly allowed to get their work done. Middle Management sometimes needs convincing of the right approach to problems or issues.

Great place to work great people and great opportunities for advancement

Insurance Specialist (Current Employee) - Moncton, NB - 10 January 2023

I love Zurich I’ve been there for almost a year now and I am very thankful I was approved for this job. I worked in some very toxic environments previously and I can say that Zurich cares for their employees. It feels like you’re not really working but you are with family.. every day they appreciate you and help you, they are a very great team ! The management is caring understanding, and they will go above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied every day. Highly recommend this place! great pay, great hours and great benefits!

All co-workers get along and have a fun attitude. The workplace culture is light but professional. The hardest part of the job is not getting carried away with the fun atmosphere.

The 80/20 Rule

Underwriter (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 16 March 2019

Job Work/Life Balance - 20% of the employees do 80% of the work. If you are one of the 20%, you are rarely thanked let alone rewarded. 60+ hour weeks are not uncommon. Salary / Benefits - old pension is gone which was a huge motivator for employees to endure this place. Salary is below market average. Regardless, you will earn every penny. Job Security/Advancement -company is notorious for restructure and lay-offs almost annually. They prefer appointing external management over promoting from within. Management - some good, some bad. The good ones are at the mercy of an erratic and ever-changing corporate strategy. Job Culture - majority of staff is miserable and over-worked. There are fundraising and pizza-day events every once in a while. Morale has been so low for so long that it's somewhat trite, but the gesture is nice nonetheless.
