Pros

Regular employment and never bored.

Cons

Claims are a mess. A lack of necessary personal in claims. Employees are given way more workload than they can handle and they refuse to hire in key positions. When they do hire,new employees usually leave within several months. Seems to be too many Vice Presidents and upper management and not enough claims personal. They continually reinforce their employees are their greatest resource but their actions prove otherwise.

Pros

They pay well and the positions are fully remote.

Cons

Toxic upper management, antiquated claims system. No functioning compliance dept. it’s every adjuster for themselves to keep up with renewal of licenses. The premium for the medical benefits is expensive.

Pros

Co-workers are good, depending on your department. The people that have been there a long time are great. Newcomers, not so much.

Cons

It used to be great company but after several retirements of upper management it has now turned to a toxic environment. Unrealistic expectations from leaders that have never done the job. Very toxic. High workload and micromanagement. Stay away if you want to keep good health. People are put into positions they are not qualified to fill. Complaints filed and nothing done to correct situation. Several long term employees leaving because they can't stand what it has become.

Pros

Good 401K, stock options and hybrid environment

Cons

All developers are overworked and have to play the anchoring role to bring all the teams in same page, apart from doing the actual coding and unit testing tasks. No career growth unless you are in the favorite list of the upper management, and managers can not understand the complexity of the deliverables, and they bring all the negative things to the table with zero appreciation.

Pros

The Benefits and Pay were good.

Cons

The benefits and pay are not worth the stress with this job. Management lacks help, you have teammates that can help, but when you need upper management to help they lack that because they are always busy. They throw so many claims at you and you expect you to know everything right from the start. When you have a claim, the company has a specific process of handling the them, but don’t tell you until something happens or later down the line of something you should know. They give so much extra tasks for a claims adjuster to do that is so barbaric, mean while you’re still suppose to do your work. The Company initiates too much stress. If you don’t have stress, you will have it in this job. I should have listened to the reviews here prior to joining. If you are outside of claims, I don’t know the stress of that, I just know this line of business.

RUN!

Pros

Good salary is the only good thing

Cons

The work load is completely unmanageable. You’ll be lied to in your interviews that you will have X amount of claims pending and then it will be DOUBLED when you get into the position. You’ll be told there is growth opportunity when there really isn’t. You WILL NOT receive training. At all. On day one they will give you new claims on top of over 100 new claims transferred to you from other adjusters who are drowning in work. Upper management sees it but chooses to do nothing about it. RUN, don’t walk away from this company. The job isn’t worth the salary they offer to you.
