High pressure, poor management focus, but decent pay - Automotive Estimator Crash Champions Employee Review

Was there for almost 5 years, 3 as a GM & 2 as an estimator. At some point it turned into a money grab. They try to sell you the koolaid saying that they are all about Happy employees, good repairs, happy customers… Unfortunately my experience was always sales being top priority. Push the cars out the door so we can make the numbers. If you good with having an enormous amount of unnecessary pressure put on you and having to redo comebacks constantly because you don’t have time to even do a proper QC check, then be my guest and good luck! Estimator are set up for failure because of the amount of work you are expected to do. It’s really insane, and this is coming from a 3 year manager. And work life balance is not a concern. They want everything done yesterday! The word “urgency” gets tossed around A LOT.
