Pros
Financially stable company, excellent benefits, good paperless claims file technology. Good place to start. I have been around for over 20 years and learned a lot. Hanging on for a few more, then plan to move on and work independently, perhaps for Amica, as a large loss and CAT adjuster. That is where the money and the freedom is.
Cons
Amica views it's employees as mere pawns on a home office driven chess board. You will get promoted, even if you are not all that good at your job, if you move all around the country at their beck and call. Try to put down roots and raise a family and you are blackballed and sidelined. I Pathetically incompent people are kept on board which brings down morale as the performers have to carry the load. They are like cancer and need to be removed, but the company buries it's head in the sand and lets them carry on. Accounting background CEO. Nice guy, but staffing is not adequate to keep up with the seemingly endless supply of crap business that the Sales side is writing. Amica is like the Titanic. Beautiful ship, thought to be unsinkable at the time and we know how that went. Time to change course folks. Sales needs to be accountable for the loss experience they are incurring with the new business.
