Pros

Pleasant work environment, great group of people to work with.

Cons

While the position is exempt, ie. OT is expected in order to try keeping your head above water. Good adjusters end up leaving because they are just burnt out. Average 50hrs work week and you still can't keep up with an average of 200+ pending. The company has grown too fast and not employed enough Liability/Casualty/Construction Defect Adjusters. Although most hired adjusters have ample years in the industry their authority is limited and all denial letters are reviewed by their AVP of Claims, even an "out of policy period type". The supervisors have been acquired through acquisition and the CA AVP wants to control everything including how a letter is formatted, worded, etc... In the end your work product may no longer be your work product. Additionally, it takes over 30 days to receive approval for a denial letter. However, their Dallas AVP for Claims is not so particular nor controlling. While a Dallas manager may compliment your denial or ROR. The same format is not acceptable to the CA AVP for Claims. However, most of us know not one person will write a letter the same way or adjust a claim exactly the same way. The Dallas AVP seems to have embraced that fact and manages to have denials turned around in a short amount of time. Additionally, the CA claims are way out of compliance, so if that stresses you as it typically will to good adjusters don't work here. Their computer servers are so slow that many times you can be typing faster than what is appearing on the screen. Or the system will bump you off and you have to restart or shut down the computer - this can be a daily chore = more stress. In general not very friendly for single parents. No work from home if your child is sick.

Pros

Company has good benefits. Nice having the bank holidays.

Cons

Desks arrangements are very close together with limited space, so you have no privacy at all. Management does not clearly communicate what they want from you and then you get blamed for there miscommunications. They are going through some growing pains but management really needs to communicate better with the employees. In a year no one has ever sat down with me and clearly defined my responsibilities. It a fly by the set of your pants environment.

Pros

* The job easily allows switching between tasks with the 3 monitor setup (Generally 2 19" and a 24" on contract, switched to a 30" on full hire). * You have the ability to do your job however you like, as long as it gets the intended results. * Very laid back environment, fairly stress free and comfortable. * If you have a problem that needs solved, there is always someone who has "been there - done that" and can help you along the way. * A GREAT place to freshen up old programming skills and build completely new ones.

Cons

* HR is slow. I mean, unbearably slow to respond to anything. * The pay scale is good if you're fresh out of college with little to no experience... but those people who stay on for years and show dedication aren't rewarded for it. * Pay raises we're barely on pace with cost of living, even when moving downtown. * In the time that I worked there, I never received a bonus. Unfortunately, hard work and drive don't account for anything if you're not in with upper management.
