Pros

Great work culture! One of the best places I've worked.

Cons

Training leaves a lot to be desired. Asked to come up with scenarios for problems you've never had, then get critiqued for not knowing what to do in said scenario is crazy. Maybe I'm old fashioned but asking someone who's never had experience writing an auto policy for non payment come up with with a realistic fake scenario is ridiculous. I don't know but maybe come up with a training you can follow along step for step? If not then don't nitpick the scenario (the person who knows nothing about these transactions) has come up with. Also I don't buy you can't do call shadowing. All calls are recorded so don't tell me you can't find at least one call that pertains to what an insured is calling about is crazy.

Pros

Excellent training and onboarding, supportive colleagues, and plenty of opportunities to develop professionally. Ample support for continuous learning and the chance to take on more responsibility over time. The benefits are competitive. There is room for growth and advancement over time.

Cons

I haven’t come across any downsides.

Pros

Nearly all remote work for most (some are 100% remote). Some still hybrid if you are unfortunate to live close to a branch. They try to keep work life balance there for you. Most management (some do not) actually care for you personally. For the industry, caseloads are manageable (still tough job).

Cons

They are slowly becoming more and more controlling in how you work. The new phone system that is coming in (Genesis) is "big brother" listening in and monitoring your day-to-day activities to make sure you are in fact working. NOT A GOOD FEELING! It started with front line staff and now they seem to be rolling it out to their tenured adjuster staff. They should let the fact that we are settling claims show for itself. They say it is "training." I say it is intrusive and fosters a feeling of mistrust. Can't wait to retire! I love what I do, but don't like the trend I am seeing and feeling.
