Adjuster

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

The initial pay was great for those that started during the transition

Cons

There is micromanagement to the highest degree. Management is through intimidation. There are several requirements that are unnecessary and hinder the Adjuster's ability to do a good job. It has an atmosphere of a sweat shop. They have to hire trainees because the word is out in the claim community and no one with experience wants to work there.

Too much Work

Pros

Pay is good. I guess they pay you well to make up for the terrible work environment.

Cons

Caseload is unmanageable. Management at the Charlotte office is terrible. Too much favoritism and too many cliques. No work life balance. Terrible place to work. Everyone is looking to leave or apply for a lower position to be able to manage their desk.

Unreasonable work load and micro-management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

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.

Pros

Salary and work life balance

Cons

Management is horrendous, belittling and bullying their subordinates. HR is a joke. The people "on the floor" are treated as if they are totally expendable. Loyalty means nothing to this company. Accomplishments are not recognized. While pay and work life balance are good, benefits are costly. There is little opportunity for advancement and management does not work with their employees to foster growth. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.
