      Best claims practices with heavy workloads

      Tcr-2 claims adjuster
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Best PTO in the industry (vacation + floating holidays + sick time which applies to self and children - Great health insurance plan - claims handling is smart and customer-minded - good people / co-workers

      Cons

      - workload - due to attention to detail, tedious requirements create a large time footprint when working claims which in turn results in workload avalanching - politics - once you get past the initial level or so of claims, politics decides who is promoted. More and more frequently, it is not the best for the job, (numbers or performance-wise). It’s lauded as a numbers only promotion system but ask anyone who’s been here longer than a year, they’ll find a way to pick who they want - high turnover as a result of the above. As a licensed professional, many people can only handle so much promotion corruption before leaving. - Pay - it’s lower than many places but I feel this is partly offset by the unparalleled PTO offering.

      Solid Company, but want Lifetime Employees

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Low pressure if working at headquarters in Chevy Chase, MD (almost impossible to get fired). Could work only 38 hours a week if desired (could work more to get more work done). Flexible scheduling at HQ (Plaza) means you could work 4/5 days a week or 9/10 every pay period. There is always opportunity for a lateral move if you aren't happy with what you are doing. On site cafeteria with OK food, but pricing above cost (run by vendor). Metro accessible (Friendship Heights). People are generally nice and easy to get along with. Not a lot of drama (team/department dependent). Professional environment with no pressure to socialize or work outside of working hours. Pick a job you will like doing, there are plenty of openings to match a variety of skill sets. Easy to get entry level job and application process was pretty quick (drug test off site was terrible!). They will fly you out for interview if you make it past phone screens. C Suite is pretty smart and have a long term vision to make sure this company is successful for many more decades.

      Cons

      No 401k match (instead profit sharing, but takes 6 years to receive full amount, 0% first year, 20% of given amount 2nd year, etc.) Very tough to get a promotion after the first year or two. Must play the "GEICO Game" and act like a faithful and loyal employee who plans to work there for life (and some employees actually do, 35, 40, 45 years) in order to move into management position. IT pays well, but turnover is crazy high. No gym (well there is one, but it's closet sized) and cafeteria is really only building amenity. You must pay $8 a month to park, and for first year or two, will be stuck in a nearby parking garage and will have to walk to building. Still a very conservative office (wear dress clothes, no alcohol on premise, no drinking at lunch or official happy hours allowed). Low cost provider of insurance means low cost operations. Technology is sometimes cutting EDGE (a little joke for current employees), or a decade plus old. Building is old and run down, despite maintenance doing a decent job up keeping. Would not ever want to work on the phones in the regional call centers. Tough job with no breaks and high expectations. Pay is below market value in area.
