Pros

They have great benefits and the pay is definitely competitive

Cons

High turnover and employee burnout. As new hires quickly realize they're in over their heads and leave, the adjusters left behind are drowned in claims. Those of us that don't quit because we need the money are either working almost 7 days a week just to try to stay current on workload or having to go on leaves of absence due to extreme stress/anxiety of being forced to meet unrealistic metrics with no end in sight to how many more claims will get dumped on you when another person quits. They can't retain employees because of this. Metrics mean more to the company than you or the customers, and even if you're meeting them, you can't win. Either you closed the claim too quickly to meet the cycle time metric or your preliminary repair estimate was not good enough and you should have gathered more information...while your emails are blowing up, your phone is ringing off the hook, and your stuck each week in 1-2 hrs worth of meetings to discuss why you all suck and what knee-jerk reaction changes they're making next that they'll expect you to do... immediately. No excuses, no leniency. Just perform or die. Trust me, if you stay here as long as I have, it's very likely you may die due to what this place does to your mental and physical health. Also, if you do have any trouble with meeting metrics, forget about trying to apply for a different position internally to save yourself, you won't be considered.

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.
