Claims is a sales job

Pros

The benefits are excellent, and are lower than most.

Cons

Upper management is a joke. I would like for them to sit in our position for two months and then seen how they feel. Supervisors give dumb coaching advice that makes no sense. The job is actually a sales job cramming down shops to people already yelling they don't want it. Better not have a life threatening situation because time off is hard to get. You have to fight for a doctor's appointment and then get reprimanded if your child is sick and you can't come in. If you can't do overtime it's a problem. Those that are parents are totally screwed. The company can't understand you are a parent and actually have a personal life. You are expected to answer every single call including calls from team members and not get behind. All claims supervisors are idiots and no idea what is going on with a claim, but want to give special coaching advice that has nothing to do with the claim and gets workers further behind. The company would rather deny than pay out in accidents, because it affects profit sharing. Go work for another carrier. Stay away from this one. They do NOT care about their employees. It's all about numbers and they do NOT care how they get them, even if they are screwing with their employees and customers. You don't need experience to be a supervisor. Only how to dictate how to keep numbers low.

Pros

Benefit Package, from health insurance to profit sharing. Comparable pay to business in the area. The people we meet and relationships created were awesome.

Cons

MICRO MGMT, from bathroom breaks, to lunch. No room for a minute here or there. Forbid someone is sick in your family nonetheless you. irritating how when you call in for whatever the emergency maybe, you were lectured about dependability, nevrmind your kid is in the hospital with b roken bones. Coming to work so sick had a puke bucket nxt to me in fear of failing the dependibility standards in the company. How experience and loyalty does not count for anything. they rather have a newbie off the streets with a degree than promote someone who has been doing the job for years, knows in and outs of the claim system and is knowledgable of the claim industry. adjusting for 10 years does not mean to them

Pros

- Great people - Good workplace environment (comfortable) - Opportunity to engage in a variety of projects and development opportunities - Ability to interact with upper management - Onsite learning opportunities from local university to complete "core" business coursework

Cons

- No clearly deliniation between pay grades - Unclear communication on how to move to the next level - Many projects are set-back with slow-downs in other departments, this makes it difficult to get a lot accomplished - Associates generally dissatisfied with management, benefits and vacation allocation which drives many to look at other companies
