Pros

Very welcoming environment. Trainers are nice and encouraging.

Cons

Discrepancies from what recruiter stated in interview and company policy. Pay was very low even with experience. Promised that I could transfer to a different department with higher pay (if qualified) after 6 months - later informed that the policy is 1 year. Advised that I would only be handling incoming calls about my claims, and maybe helping on main phones 3 hours once per week. Phones actually went live during training and most of the training class ended up answering and handling claims for other adjusters. Many were not able to complete their own work and the response was to be faster on calling out to our customers so that the other calls don’t get through. Training was not thorough, the class focused more on plying irrelevant games and ice breakers than preparing us to handle claims. When you ask too many questions you are told that they can’t be “holding your hand”. The database to research information is huge and difficult to navigate. Your time is closely watched so you have to do research & catch up on claims while on your breaks. Up to 15 new claims daily in addition to to any that you have open from the previous days - waiting on claimants to return your call. Favoritism was displayed- one class participant was working remotely next to their spouse who was helping them in class - they had all the answers and supervisors pulled them for a “special project”. Several adults in the training class cried during our training day due to the stress. When working with real claims, the feedback was provide only when something was missed - things that were never covered during training. Messages will come from 3-4 people who don’t even work with you. Some trainers are better than others. It was no better on the floor.

Pros

Wonderful people, great networking opportunities and skills training for different roles. They have flexible options for time off outside of PTO. Their VTO comes in handy. Theirs options to switch a working day and make-up time with an off day and vice versa.

Cons

It's harder to move into a role outside of your department, but easy to move laterally within it.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
