Pros

Philadelphia has a very good work culture. They have an unbelievable amount of holidays. They are supportive and not trying to find the small things to pick on. No micro managing.

Cons

There is an unbelievable amount of coverage to deal with and they don't have a coverage guru so you have to work with your supervisor to create your letters. The claims are varied as you handle habitability claims and lots of stuff related to non-profits (which are very sketchy groups of people not to mention the claimants they are sketchy as well). So much weird stuff you cannot imagine. More than 80% litigated and they use trial counsel so everything takes forever and they spend a fortune on defense. You can be handling GL, Med Mal and Professional liability. They are good at figuring out where you are at and meeting you there in relation to your experience level, at least on the west coast. Some supervisors are excellent and others not so much. It really depends on who your supervisor is. I would try to stay on the west coast as their region is much more cohesive. I started out there and was doing well but once I got transferred to the East Coast, they didn't have the support and the supervisor did not like how I was handling the claims (using Independent adjusters for investigation, as specifically directed by the prior supervisor/VP). The health insurance denies claims and you have to fight with them after every visit to the doctor.

Pros

Flexibility with a hybrid work schedule. Ability to learn more products, so it can be challenging but fun if you are looking for growth. Metrics and everyone knows what to expect which seems to be industry standard across small business.

Cons

None. PTO comparative seems light as you start out.

Pros

Nice people, focus on technology, upper management is usually ahead of insurance trends, immediate supervisors were nice and well meaning. Benefits are good, not great. Good amount of PTO.

Cons

In small business unit, you have monthly quotas and managers are constantly asking how much you are quoting and if you will reach that number. Various levels of punishment if you don’t hit this number. Quality of work, risk selection, accuracy doesn’t really matter, only how much you quote. There is no positive in hitting this number beyond not being bothered until the next month. If you exceed this number consistently, you’ll just be asked to do more. Company is doing everything in its power to save expenses. The pay rate is well below the market. People consistently leave and make much more money elsewhere. Most lower level jobs are being shipped to an Indian company and even the Indian company is having job functions replaced by AI. This is usually at the expense of quality or what our agents actually want. CEOs preach saving expenses and not replacing people, as they show up to your office after flying in a private jet and a car service. Finally, 90% of the people in the region I worked were related to somebody who either works there, were their friends, or were related to agents we did business with. Some of these people had positions made for them, where they sat there and studied for 6 months, instead of promoting people from within. This will also prevent job mobility.
