Didn’t realize how toxic the IT culture was until I left - Delivery Specialist CSAA Insurance Group, a AAA Insurer Employee Review

Pros

CSAA is a good company with many great people. Benefits and pay are great. There are currently too many people within the IT department though, mostly due to large programs ending that have caused some negative impacts. There is a new remodel of the office in Glendale with adjustable desks that are a major positive. Work/life balance is also a pro - although they could increase worker output if they work on engagement and encourage more improvement work.

Cons

The culture of IT was toxic when I left. They have fired a few executives that will help improve, but really need to go through a few more. Some Executives belittle employees, as well as Managers. Large projects are mismanaged, and there are too many people right now for the amount of work that exists. It’s a small company that has a massive IT population. I’m hopeful that some of the changes taking place will correct the culture and improve engagement, as there are skilled people there, just misguided/misled. They may be able to reduce their management layer as well by a good 20-30%. It isn’t the best place to work in the valley within IT. I think back in 2010 it may have been, but it certainly isn’t anymore.

Pros

I am grateful for the resources and vendor relationships that Mobilitas provides. They help me work faster and more efficiently as a Commercial Casualty Adjuster. I also appreciate that the company supports the use of AI, which helps make our work easier and more efficient.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement have become more limited over the past year. It feels like there is not a clear or effective path to move into leadership. The current leadership programs do not feel very helpful or are not geared toward claims roles. It can also feel like staying in the same position for a long time before being seriously considered for promotion.
