GEICO Manager Development Program - Auto Damage Adjuster reviews

Your supervisor will be nice to you if your number is good. But they will turn to an asshat when your numbers not measure up with other co workers. The numbers came from HQ which I think just a bunch of monkeys that beating a type writer to come up with those numbers. If a customer get into a hard hitting accident, my estimate will be high. If customer got a small bumper job, my estimate will be low. How is an adjuster suppose to control the claim cost? Per Geico's premium policy, we are already using the cheapest way of repair (all after market parts, repair as much as possible over replace, patching up the bumpers instead replace since they serve no protection purpose...etc.) There is no control of how many claims we would deal in a day. It's just a wide open flood gate. Can you stop moving us? Los Angeles is a huge place. I could of work at a location that's 5 min away from my home instead of 2 hours in LA traffic with my personal car. The person that work in the location which is 5 min away from my home has to come from other side of LA driving 1.5 hours. The only way of us to control the claim cost is to ask shop to help us up with the labor hours. We can't do that to shops that we don't have a good relationship with.

The company will not pay proper overtime or allow for individual growth due to budget deficits. I asked many times to be sent to professional development programs and was always brushed off or ignored. Overtime hours (if even considered) are classified as "premium pay" which is less than 50% your hourly rate. When going on "CATASTROPHE" duty I was only paid regular overtime not CATASTROPHE pay as illustrated in the HR handbook. Supposedly it is at manager discretion if you receive the proper pay or not. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK. You will need to work unpaid overtime to stay on top of your workload and you will have many impossible goals to maintain. If you want no home/family time then you can succeed in this job.
