Pros

The company tries to keep with up technology trends to enhance product and service offerings, (hopefully) keeping an edge over the competition Large corporation with an established infrastructure and customer base Potential for growth depending on sales and management teams

Cons

Individual branch offices often feel disconnected from corporate - feedback on operational and productivity issues with company platforms and processes seem to disappear into a yawning black hole, costing the company time, money and effecting customer satisfaction and retention, as well as leading to employee frustration and an "it is what it is" outlook on reporting any future issues. New processes, applications, sales, etc are often brought online by the seat of the pants without seemingly any QA testing or proper planning - which leads to much scrambling to resolve issues after the fact Company sense of cohesion and morale building efforts are practically non existent. Frequent lack of leadership and vision in individual branch offices leads to employee dissatisfaction and high turnover Employees outside of Circle of Excellence / management / bonus plans have little incentive to strive for their own excellence. Salaries are generally on the lower end, and raises have never been all that generous regardless of individual performance. To quote Office Space... "you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired"

Pros

Excellent pay structure to offset poor benefits and high healthcare costs. There is no Short Term Disability offered.

Cons

Management frequently lies to clients and employees about adjust case loads. Adjusted frequently experience case loads of 150 to 200 cases per desk. Management lies to clients regarding adjuster turnover and account managers are expected to lie as well. Alcohol is a big part of Corvel culture. During my first week of employment I was expected to drink with my regional VP and a client. During the conversation the client became extremely intoxicated and began mocking me. The VP looked on and said, none of this matters. This is just some hazing. Managers do not take the time to develop their cohorts. They bully people into working harder and taking on more than they can physically manage. When you make a mistake the response is not, let’s learn from this. The response is, do it again and you’re fired. This is common Corvel culture. This is very much a classic corporate greed structure that pushes people to their breaking points, fires them, and funds someone else to plug the hole.
