Pros

Alternative work schedule is available, WFH, co-workers

Cons

Crazy high workloads with constant micromanagement measures being implemented that only add busy work vs adding value. Everything is constantly "audited" - whether claim note templates (that should be built into the system but we actually have to copy/paste) are done by day 1, day 6, etc, mgmt checking our voicemail count, plans of action requiring superfluous sections that are addressed on the prior templates that we already filled out on other claim notes, etc. The processes are duplicative, inefficient, and outdated. Clients are allowed to be way too demanding and unrealistic, and it's the adjuster who always get thrown under the bus. Our assistants were all laid off and we are now supported by employees in India, who have no comp knowledge or experience; as a result a lot of late payments, mistakes and poor work product happen. There is high turnover in every branch because people get fed up.

Worst place to work

Pros

none none none none none

Cons

I think this company paid to get listed on Fortune 500's best companies. This is the worst company I have ever worked for. They don't care about their employees, the workload is a three person job, management only cares about numbers, how many files you've closed and how fast you can close news ones. The raises are horrible .07 cents a year, they make you attend meetings to do kindergarten tasks like make up a song to show how much you appreciate upper management or draw pictures and perform a skit. They want you to work 80 hours a week but only pay you for 35. Human Resource is useless. It's the good old boys club here where the HR friend will always be on your supervisors side and nothing will change.

Pros

There are a handful of nice co-workers. Pay check doesn’t bounce.

Cons

Run for your life! Branch locations have substandard operations. The leadership has titles without experience to lead and train. Nepotism is excessive. Diversity is 4%. They work people to death with no raises, bonuses or good benefits. Incentives have so many conditions, people give up. Acquisitions are all misled & disappointed. Branches are sweat shops. There is no character or culture. Glendale, CA or Rolling Meadows, IL are the only locations to consider for employment. Do your homework to avoid the “bait & switch.” The position you seek won’t be the one you get.
