Pros

profit sharing is generous, free gas and use of company car for a small fee, free training and licensing

Cons

ZERO work life balance. They will hire you with the expectation of working one Saturday a month. In reality mandatory OT is closer to 2-3 times a month. As soon as you get your license you will go from writing zero claims to 5+ a day. You are expected to route yourself and make at least 45 phone calls a day minimum. Most of your day will be spent as a customer service rep instead of looking at vehicles. This position is thankless. A real no win spot to be in. You are constantly fighting body shops, customers and Geico. This is of course if you get out of training. Training is a month and a half of anxiety. 3 weeks local and 4 weeks in VA. You are tested daily and if you do not keep up with the GPA you are immediately fired. Once out of training you will realize it did NOTHING to prepare you for the field.

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
