Once a great place to work

Pros

Below the VP/Director level, employees are easy to get along with and work with. For the most part, there is a sense of camaraderie and common-goal-ism that pervades the office and daily operations. The casual dress code is nice, and a lot of the time there is a casual attitude to go along with it. The company does a number of events, activities, offers, etc., for employees: monthly lunches, gatherings, and the like. All-company events like the summer outing and especially the holiday party are really fun for everyone. Work-from-home Fridays are a great perk, and the company is very accommodating to personal needs to work from home at other times. People are very driven to succeed - they want to be good at their job and they want the company to succeed. Most people bring high energy to the office daily.

Cons

Significant management changes saw the departure of an engaging, inspiring leader who had worked hard to create a strong sense of community and a group goal of achieving innovative, high-quality results. He was replaced with a group of eloquent speakers with an aspirational message, who at times bit off more than the staff could collectively chew. In an effort to exponentially grow the business, work-life balance got lost. Seriously lost. Employees were expected to work all hours of the day and though encouraged to "think outside the box," the slightest deviation from the company line could - and likely would - land you on management's suspicion radar. The result was a toxic environment where people lost the ability to trust each other. It is difficult to collaborate with colleagues when you don't know if they're going to backstab you or criticize your work to advance themselves. Particularly at the end of the month (as has been stated in other reviews), but in truth as an overall business model, managers and directors care only about meeting short-term productivity goals but not longer-term concerns like meeting customer expectations and retaining good employees that will help sustain long-run productivity. New management took a political stance for operations; promotions were given to manager and customer favorites without any eye toward people who actually work the hardest and/or the most. Operations manager seemed uninterested in developing resources/talent and focused instead on criticizing employees, cultivating mistrust, and pitting people against one another. As the business grew, the business model was constantly in flux but nobody seemed to have any information about long-term goals; it felt like sailing on a rudderless ship. When change did occur, communication often felt like an afterthought, and operational changes were instituted without input or feedback from individuals who would actually USE the processes being changed. Employee turnover - voluntary and involuntary - became a problem, both for production and for morale, as there was sometimes no communication about someone's departure... and nobody to take over the missing person's work load. Additional work load and productivity expectations did not come with any increase in pay. Advancing without an advanced degree is difficult. You have to be a lawyer or a management favorite if you expect to get anywhere.

ISO Claims Partners Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide this thoughtful feedback. ISO Claims Partners has undergone many changes in the last year and we recognize that any major change comes with some bumps along the way. We are excited to see some of the positive effects of those changes coming to fruition today. Everyone here at ISO Claims Partners works so hard and the leadership team is so grateful for everyone’s commitment to the organization’s success. We know that employees have been putting in a lot of hours and consequently, we are now currently recruiting to fill about 15 roles. We also recognize the need for continued focus on quality assurance. In the last month, we added a new team member who is bringing several new ideas to the table to ensure that our products and service are of the highest quality and that our continuous training programs are focused and impactful. ISO Claims Partners always encourages employees to provide feedback on how we can continue to make this the best place to work possible so if you have additional feedback, I welcome you to feel free to reach out to the HR department or any member of the leadership team. Thank you!

Pros

The people are the best part of ISO Claims Partners. Management is flexible and tolerant of new ideas, especially once you've proven that you are a dedicated and hard worker. The office environment is relaxed. Despite having a staff of attorneys, the vibe isn't stuffy. We do have to work weekends sometimes, but the perks make up for it.

Cons

Lower pay than other businesses, however, the flexibility ISO provides more than makes up for the lower pay.

Pros

Like the reviewer before me, I was very surprised to see such critical reviews specifically where it related to the leadership team and the work / life balance. I have been with the company for several years and have seen the leadership team change. Currently, it seems stronger than ever and currently we benefit from an energetic group of leaders that are committed to growth and positive change. With respect to work / life balance I would say that this company has it nailed more than any other I have ever worked for. Are we asked to work hard - absolutely. Do we need to occasionally work long hours to achieve goals - yes. However, this hard work is acknowledged through incentives, free food, bonus, bonus days off, etc. and if not acknowledged through these "perks" there is always an appreciation and a sincere thank you. I guess if you want a strict 9-5 job with no strings attached this is not the place for you. This is definitely a team atmosphere where you need to work together and work hard to achieve goals. The upshot (in addition to the ones I have listed previously) is that you truly feel part of a team / family. Not only does staff support each other professionally but I have also seen the company rally behind any employee that has needed assistance personally and that goes a long way for me.

Cons

Can get very busy at the end of month / quarter. There is focus on how to sustain more consistent work levels throughout however, to date, this is still a work in progress.
