Pros

Caseloads are around 130. Which is very manageable. This company is not a tpa so there is no risk manager that has to approve reserve request, surveillance hours or IME scheduling the adjuster handles this. Salaries for the industry are very competitive.

Cons

Ever since amtrust bought tower group and absorbed their management the WC department has been a sinking ship. The computer system is not claims management capable. Freezes, crashes, deletes work, moves excessively slow, documents sent to you via fax never come to you. Most of your day is spent restarting the computer. Reserve are impossible to obtain. Which is the meat of an insurance company. Well this company will only provide reserves if you are facing penalties or need to pay TTD. Which is very odd and worries the department. If you request a sizeable reserve for a large loss the large report you are required to develop for the request is somehow absorbed into an abyss and is never heard from again. Expect this company to shut its doors in the next year or even sooner

Pros

Co-workers are amazing. Managers are helpful.

Cons

Rolling out an incomplete new operating system was a horrible idea. Creates additional work for adjusters. The processes being implemented are hindering the ability to effectively close claims. Adjusters are being told to do more with less every day. Claim counts average 180 to 200 for the last 6 months with no relief in sight. Hybrid work was promised at 2 home and 3 in office. That was recently revoked and it is now mandatory 4 days in office. With gas prices what they are, that really hurts. Corporate management seems to be focused more on obtaining #1 status and bringing in the big bucks than finding a way to relieve the stress on their employees. Mental health is non existent and if you aren't putting in 50+ hours a week there is no way to stay on top of your work load. Even then you will feel like you are barely treading water. New NICE phone system is for call centers-not claim adjusters. Not a lot of advancement opportunities unless you are someone's pet. Benefits are mediocre at best.
