Pros

Lots of systems to support sales force in the field. District Managers there to help…if you get a good one. The culture and heritage they talk about is in the past.

Cons

They micro manage the "independent contractor" agents and district managers as if you were an employee. Where to be, what to do, what to say, what marketing programs you must be a part of or else suffer the consequences. Jump through their hoops or risk your contract being terminated. The rates for their products are COMPLETELY uncompetitive. I don't need to be the cheapest, but get me in the game!

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
