Company doesn't care about you

Pros

Worked with great people. Tremendous supervisor and team. Can't say enough good things about the people as individuals.

Cons

So many. I was there for over 8 Years and I left because I am re-locating and going to a competitor. My supervisor has been nothing but supportive for me. However I give a 4 weeks notice and was walked out with only 2 weeks pay because "policies". I was a top performer every year. The company does not care about you as an individual, truly. I do not have the luxury of having a college degree. I have seen so many outside hires with NO insurance experience get hired at a higher salary than myself and get moved in their MDP fast track programs. They don't have to interview for a new position, NOR do they have to have the good numbers. Because they had a HIGH GPA they were fast tracked. The most frustrating thing about this company is that fact. You can be top performer and ALWAYS get overlooked because you weren't "smart" enough. The "core classes" is truly a joke. When you find out what they look for you sit back and ask yourself "when does anyone who is NOT a Director or above use these classes on a daily basis"? Truthfully you may use them once in a year at best. They constantly micro manage you so badly that you start questioning if you really are doing a good job. Thankfully my last supervisor was so GREAT he didn't have to do any of that. The salary is not the best when you find out other places pay you more for less work and the opportunity for remote work. If you tried calling out they make you feel so bad about it that you ultimately have to choose to come in while sick to get everyone else sick over getting paid to stay home and feel better to come back to do your job. If you don't have a college degree they treat you like trash. I've seen many good tenured people either quit, get fired, or force-ably moved into another position so they ultimately choose to retire because they either don't have any required college classes or just haven't adapted to whatever changes were made. How can a credible company take people who worked there for over 20 years and push them to the side for younger people with a GPA that's high? Simple, to cut the salary of that person away to give someone else starting at less money the chance to do a POOR job since they have no experience. It's completely a joke at how it is done. The actual JOB itself (claims handling) can be quite fun and rewarding (I LOVED what I DID as a job) but the moral is so devastating that you start asking yourself why bother coming into work every day? My experience should be more valuable to any company than hiring some kid fresh out of college with a great GPA and no experience and I SHOULDN'T have to be the one training that person who will ultimately be "promoted" to a much higher position than I can ever achieve just because I can't afford college.

Pros

Pay is pretty good, profit sharing, and your coworkers are like family

Cons

Micromanage is a understatement. They will drive you into a depression for the type of micromanaging that is happing in the company. Working here is not worth the pain of feeling like your losing yourself

Pros

The only thing good about being a field adjuster was the flexibility of being home at 2 to finish up admin work and the benefits, profit sharing and pto can’t say the work car because my management team was garbage and took it away to give to someone new because I wasn’t going to need it all the time because I was going to cover the ARX shops time to time lies I was a full time field adjuster with either a rental or beat up pool car

Cons

understaffed !!!!!!!!!! Everyone here keeps saying Unrealistic work load it really wasn’t if you knew how to manage your time and take it day by day if I got behind I’d tell my supervisor well I’m not going to kill myself to do the work for 4 people and he’d back off I would knock out 5 claims a day be home by 2 and finish admin but the phone would always be ringing customers always wanting to know the status of repairs like if we knew where there car was claims department just were a bunch of retardes who couldn’t read notes or look into certain pages and had to always call us for the minimalist things .The metrics are rigged to have you fail unless you kill yourself and do way way more than expected there’s no moral support supervisors and management are honestly ignorant and don’t know anything about the industry and what it takes to repair a car . I didn’t get the proper training was just left to sink or swim and i swam I did fine but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to work here unless your looking to be unhappy I left right after profit sharing and left my supervisor with one adj because the rest were out on vacation oh and the pay sucked making 55k a year for all the work you did was unrealistic I went to work at a body shop making 85k less work less politics a little more expensive benefits but still have vacation 401k etc. And making good money even working for another insurance company is better pay and divided work loads geico your a one stop man/ woman
