Pros

The benefits and pay are good

Cons

They have handled the pandemic poorly. Almost all of the tenured people I know are job hunting. I used to feel like they were fair but it's very clear it's who you know not what you know that gets you promoted now. The only reason I still work here is I'm waiting to finish my bachelors so I can find a job that will pay me as much as I make here.

Pros

Company car with gas card, profit sharing.

Cons

Micromanaged to the extreme. Management that doesn't care for your well being or work/life balance. Supervisors that are promoted who have zero people skills and no knowledge of repairing a car. Perpetually understaffed.

Pros

- Competitive salary. - Internship program focused on professional growth, public speaking, and developing solutions to real business problems allows you to get your foot in the door for the Management Development Program.

Cons

- Training is cut far too short, includes time on the phones handling real claims, and trainers often either do not have the answers to your questions or seem to be annoyed when you ask them. Overall, it feels rushed. - Thrown onto the phone 2-3 weeks after starting - coaches are there to help but you're pretty much on your own when talking to the customer. A very short amount of time is allotted for holds and calls come in one after the other leaving very little time to ask questions about the various situations you deal with in claims (that were never discussed in training). - Negative classroom-like environment. - Drama. - Micromanagement to the extreme in every sense of the word. - Management Development Program feels more like solely being a customer service representative, you are years away from becoming a supervisor - not very motivating. - Extremely high-stress environment, not for the faint of heart. - Achieving success in claims will largely feel out of reach if you're not 100% comfortable talking on the phone, multitasking while on the phone, dealing with high stress and emotional situations plus constant critique every day. - To be successful in this job you must not let anything bother you so that you can go home and sleep peacefully at night. - The stress of this job took a toll on my physical & mental health, and therefore I had no choice but to leave.
