Pros

This is a great company to work for. The culture and executive staff have taken time to meet with the trainees and talk about what this company's values are and how to integrate them into our work. The training program has been excellent. It is a lot of work and the expectation is to acquire the AINS designation in three months by completion of AINS 21, 22, and 23. It is a lot of studying but the Sr. Adjusters are very helpful and always approachable for questions about the reading. The last portion of the training includes getting your feet wet in handling some smaller claims. The Sr. adjusters and training manager work closely with you and walk you through the steps. The training is not easy but I did not start my adult life in the insurance field, or business field in general and I have experienced nothing but helpful managers and staff through the training experience.

Cons

Not being a computer or technology guy, I would have liked a more in depth training experience on the systems and programs of the job.
