Pros

I started at Amica in 2009. It was a great place to work at that time. Great people with long tenured employees and customers. Great benefits and pay. Positive place to work in the beginning. I loved my job for so long.

Cons

Things changed over the years. The environment became less positive. Very strict and micromanaging. Customer service went downhill. Hiring of inexperienced young employees (I'm assuming to pay less). Even retiring employees constantly mentioned how they couldn't wait to get out of that place and were happy when they did. I miss working there but everyone that's there still warns me not to come back. Just not the same place it was 10 years ago. Sad.

Whoa! Slow down with the... Claims!

Pros

Great atmosphere to work in. My coworkers and management in my branch make a great team and are extremely supportive. Amica really focuses on "doing the right thing" when it comes to claims. Myself and coworkers work hard to find coverage when at all available and also defending our insured when in accidents. On the other hand, we abide by the Code of Ethics in insurance and when we (our insured) is at fault and there is evidence to support that, then we pay. Decent benefits, although not phenomenal. Amica isn't the only company with great benefits, however. Other companies also have it too. JD Powers award for many years straight. That says something. We are going the right thing in many ways with customer service. I hope with the many new changes that it lasts.

Cons

Workload, workload, workload!! It is getting to the point where we don't even have enough time to do our jobs sufficiently. The company says they are working to remedy and "thank you for your hard work", but it isn't enough. There are no plans of hiring more claims staff to support the new business they are writing. No one has been hired in my department for the past two years and we are told by upper management (almost at the top) to not expect any new positions opening up. I haven't quite figured out how they can assume they can write so much more business, but not hire ANY more staff to support their new business. The new Total Loss department is helping, but only marginally. They don't seem to realize that total losses are only a small slice of our workload. The TL dept is not the cure! My hope is that Amica finally realizes that they need to hire more staff. Bottom line. It's simple business concept. A employee can only do so much in a day. The pay is closer to the bottom end of the the industry standard. I used to not mind this. The work environment used to be better. I find this to be more of a concern for me and now (a long time employee) and starting to search to see what else is out there for me in the industry. If I am going to work like all of the other overworked employees in the industry, then I should be compensated accordingly. Claims is a very difficult part of the industry and requires a great deal of analytical thinking and can be stressful.

Thank you for your review and candid thoughts. We are aware that heavy workload is an issue being experienced and expressed across several areas of our company. We are currently hiring Claims staff in multiple offices, which we hope will help to alleviate this workload. Still, we appreciate your patience as we address staffing needs, coordinate specialized teams and utilize our technology to create a better experience for both our employees and our customers. If you’d like to speak with us directly regarding your concerns, please send an email to employeefeedback@amica.com and we’d be happy to have someone get in touch with you. Thank you.
