Pros
Great benefits and pay for an entry-level position. The work week is 40 hours for most office claims adjusters. When the amount of claims increases employees can request overtime hours. Farmers offers tuition assistance to employees after six months for "related courses." The hours are fairly flexible. OCRs work core hours (six designated hours each day) and then build up the 40 hours/week around that.
Cons
Insurance is a tough business. Most customers will feel "wronged" by the company even if it is the correct liability decision or fair value for their vehicle. There is not a lot of clear communication between agents, field adjusters, and office adjusters. A lot of times it feels like good cop, bad cop between the agents and claims adjusters. Claims adjusters are often micromanaged by supervisors and Quality Assurance.
