Pros

Good Benefits, and regular Mon Through Friday work schedule.

Cons

Oh boy where do I start. The company likes to point out that sucess is achiebed by "Winning Behaviors" which they have meticulously outlined. However, only the lowest level employees are expected to follow these behaviors. Rather than being used as an incentive, they are weiled like a club over the head of anyone who has a new or fresh idea. Stay in line, keep your mouth shut and you have a chance to go far. try to suggest improvements, or ask a question and you will see the result on your next performance appraisal. Good jobs are shipped overseas to India with a major effort to hide this fact to the underwriters and producers. Why just treat people like they are from a 3rd world country, when you can have an actual 3rd world country do the work, at half the cost? Employees are supposed to be the "most valuable asset" but really it is just money.

Pros

Salary and benefits package was exceptional. Great company to take some risk to grow, develop and advance your career -- then get out!

Cons

The culture of the place is just horrible. Current senior management does not care about employees, despite saying they do. They value ego maniac cut throat shark type of leaders. Knee jerk management style, constant knee jerk changes in strategies and goals. Even if you achieve stated goals, some senior leaders still tell you its not enough, brow beat you at performance review time. They adopted GE style performance management philosy in 2010 -- people are force ranked into '4' and '5' ratings and put on performance improvement plan PIP which is stacked against them from the start and then the person is fired. Constant layoffs, random firings of VERY talented, contributing employees. No explanation ever provided. The "Axe" is always swinging....keep you head down. So glad I finally got wise and quit this poorly run company. Company I work for now is the exact opposite of CNA. Quitting was the best thing I ever did.

Pros

Salary is generally above market. However it’s a bait and switch tactic because nothing else about the job is how you’re told it will be. It’s literally the only thing they have to lure people in.

Cons

There’s many reasons why they can’t retain their claims staff. 1. Zero training. There’s no formal training program. You’ll be assigned a “buddy” for “training and questions.” Your buddy won’t have time to help you because they’re likely handling 50-75% more claims than what you’re told is the “target” in your interview and they are not given any time off new reports to actually train you. 2. Zero support from management. Expect to be gaslight if you express concern or frustration. They know why they can’t keep people but choose to not address it. 3. Technology is not up to date. You will be repeating the same task in multiple systems to do your job because the company has refused to invest in updating their systems. They say it’s too costly but then refuse to look at how much the human inefficiency is costing. 4. They will slam your desk. As a new hire, you get the privilege of inheriting everyone else’s problems. Your claims will likely have gone through at least two other hands first. These files will be in varying degrees of disarray, some due to incompetence and others due to the fact that management slammed the person behind you and they got fed up and left. Don’t expect any support here, either.
