Property Claims Adjuster

Pros

There are some real talented, experienced people working at the adjuster level and in lower management. My leader is probably one of the best I've worked for, and that is within any industry/job I've held. He is a walking claims encyclopedia and will fight for you. The office is decent, quite, albeit very small. Standard assortment of benefits. 401k, health, dental etc. PTO seems to accrue quickly.

Cons

I hate to focus on the bad, but here goes. This place can be great, but right now, it is not. Not enough staff to handle the amount of workload. And the volume is not crazy or anything, its more of the tedious, laborious, amount of administrative work. No bulk billing for vendors we use often, so get ready to issue payments to everybody. Uploading documents to a claim file one by one by one by one... You are usually so encumbered by all of the small things needed to get a file to completion, that you barely have time to write an estimate, review one of the, literally, thousands of policy forms and endorsements in order to make accurate coverage decisions, or return the multitude of phone calls you receive. Hey. You know that claim from 2015 that was reassigned to you in order to reissue an escheated check,? Yea, that goes against your time to first pay metric. Excuse me?! This isn't something that your front line folks need to handle. The systems we are currently using are nightmares, and there has not been a 2 week stretch where one or more has not had a bug or worse.

Pros

Decent Salary, Average Benefits package, Nice people work there, Decent Technology, Good Air-conditioning, OK parking.

Cons

Baffling situation every since Kemper took over Infinity Insurance. (I started when it was Infinity Insurance Company). Went from a family owned, close knit environment to a Walmart type, Profit at all cost, Consume anything in its way, I don't care about the employees work place. It has been a very trying transition to say the least. Many long time employees have left and new employees struggle to keep up with a laundry list of unattainable goals, procedures and workload. There is far more work than can be accomplished in a regular 8 hour work day yet goals are demanded on you on a weekly basis. Over-Time is seldomly granted despite the unmanageable workload. Being that Kemper bought out Alliance United and Infinity Insurance, adjusters have to work multiple separate systems for each policy. Add a fun phone metric in which it monitors all your calls in and out and to boot you have to log out of the phone system even when you go to the bathroom. It has become the most militant company I have ever worked for. There is not one person that I know of that works there that is not frustrated or depressed or both. Employees don't care to take vacations in fear of not making 'goals'. On top of everything there is very limited potential for growth despite all the company slogans such as 'Own your own Career' which is the furthest thing from the truth; you don't own anything but rather the company just owns you.
