Pros
It's a fun job. Some time (if you are lucky) you have pretty good down time to take your break with. When you get nice customers that understanding you just there to do a job. Everything seems to be smooth. There are very few works that an adjuster can bring home so you have a pretty clean cut of work/life balance.
Cons
Your supervisor will be nice to you if your number is good. But they will turn to an asshat when your numbers not measure up with other co workers. The numbers came from HQ which I think just a bunch of monkeys that beating a type writer to come up with those numbers. If a customer get into a hard hitting accident, my estimate will be high. If customer got a small bumper job, my estimate will be low. How is an adjuster suppose to control the claim cost? Per Geico's premium policy, we are already using the cheapest way of repair (all after market parts, repair as much as possible over replace, patching up the bumpers instead replace since they serve no protection purpose...etc.) There is no control of how many claims we would deal in a day. It's just a wide open flood gate. Can you stop moving us? Los Angeles is a huge place. I could of work at a location that's 5 min away from my home instead of 2 hours in LA traffic with my personal car. The person that work in the location which is 5 min away from my home has to come from other side of LA driving 1.5 hours. The only way of us to control the claim cost is to ask shop to help us up with the labor hours. We can't do that to shops that we don't have a good relationship with.
