Pros

There are a lot of good people to work with, the training materials are pretty good and the on-line training is a plus

Cons

Reserve agent program is a take anyone who walks in the door and have them sell to friends program. DM spends more time recruiting new reserve agents than actually going on sales calls/presentations and showing how it's done. Often not even in the ball park on pricing. Spend a lot of time talking about subsidiy program, then you find out the thresholds are higher than you thought, they can yank your appointment at any time for any reason and if you don't pay the subisdy back right away they send you to collections. Spent way too much time drinking/messing around and not enough time on development. A lot of misleading information/empty promises given.

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
