Pros

There are nice co-workers to work with.

Cons

The management has exceptions that are not obtainable. Home Office has way too many in house requirements for reports. They have a report that they run every Tuesday. The management wants to be sure that the reports are perfect. If so, they feel that they are meeting the goals that they are doing well. In the meantime the examiners can't keep up with work that is not on the weekly report and management does not offer any solution. It is "Fly under the raider" attitude. Everything else can go unattended. The client is not getting "A" service as they claim. The attitude towards working extra hours is expected in order to keep up with extremely heavy work flow. Told that with more work comes job security. Employee's can't voice their concerns about not being able to service the clients according to best practices. If you voice your concerns, you get brushed off by stating that everyone should be happy to have jobs with todays economy. They do not meet best practices.

Pros

Motivated, experienced adjusters are afforeded the opportunity to work with very interesting accounts and are rewarded with decent pay increases. Contact with large self insured entities and insurance brokerages can lead to other employment opportunities.

Cons

High turnover in staff causes case loads to constantly be shuffled around. Case loads are above what can be handled properly even by experienced adjusters. Due to case load there is not much time for supervisors to spend on training less experienced adjusters. Very little contact with management. Very little positive feedback. No real sense of belonging to the organization as no visits from home office staff. Medical benefits package below par.

Pros

Very good atmosphere, all the people from senior management to admin staff are polite, helpful and friendly. The benefits are pretty good and the amount of training given and support is also very good.

Cons

The IT systems are very out of date and regularly stop you from working and ultimately (I think) hinder the growth of the business. Thats the only real problem.
