Pros

Benefits; numerous career path options (if willing to relocate); sustained success, bright future

Cons

Not very competitive salaries for those that are strongly educated until you've worked your way up to an officer position. Employees could be treated better, often treated as an expendable commodity

Pros

The pay and the ability to get profit sharing is about the best thing. You also get chances to volunteer.

Cons

Unless you are a top seller or a friend of a supervisor, dont expect to move up. Top management and supervisors show rampid favortism and you can be fired or put on warning for a single occurence, while other employees abuse attendance issues. Supervisors come and go as they please and they are allowed to handpick their teams to beef up their numbers. Pick another place to work unless you want a short term job. If you are new, dont expect to bonus either. They take away policies based on cooked up attrition numbers.

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.
