Pros

local commute & was once a great company

Cons

Company really needs to evaluate egos as they get in the way of business objectives. So much turnover. New employees leaving and long term (25 yrs+) employees leaving. All because of treatment. It's sad really. I predict issues for this once great company. Lies & manipulation, very heavy workloads & execution style work ethic will all lead to problems. Not to mention the department restructuring, leadership changes & employee layoffs. Company will become archaic & full of narcissistic locals. Good luck with that.

Pros

Zero pros to report. Unless you enjoy working 12 to 14 hour days.

Cons

Top heavy.. Extremely clicky.. If you you aren't "in" you are pretty much out. The make people management by who's you know not what you know. Very cruel.. And don't go to HR.. They are the worst bunch of people.

Unreasonable work load and micro-management

Pros

Work from home option pay is good excellent 401k match

Cons

The work load is ridiculous. The pending here is smaller than other companies, but you will be micro-managed so much and have so many technology problems that it will be impossible to do your job in a reasonable amount of time. The claim system is antiquated and the phone system is a mess. Every day there is a new problem. Working here is like being in an abusive relationship. You are constantly made to feel like a failure that you start to believe it. Managers gaslight you into thinking there is something wrong with you. They ask you what's wrong with you and you can't answer because you have no idea what they're talking about. One day you are complimented on how well you're doing, the next you are put on a performance plan. It's absurd. Also, managers way over-step their involvement in claims, and their behavior is sometimes unethical. They will change liability decisions and tell you to deny a claim we clearly owe, all because the insured or their agent is a big client. "Make them prove it in arb" is something I have been told on more than one occasion. We've also been told not to pay a claimant more than a certain amount on a claim so the insured won't experience a surcharge, even if we owe it. They will tell the claimant the insured is going to pay the rest, but we have no control over whether or not they actually do it.
