Pros

* Fair pay, fair benefits * Job security is a bonus * Well known (looks good on resumes)

Cons

Toxic culture and a damaged employment brand. Rigid, top-down chain of command. You have no discretionary authority to make a decision, yet you're held 100% accountable. Very low morale (especially in ACC - claims call centers). The Workforce Management software controls EVERY movement you make, even down to bathroom breaks. Overwhelming workload and lack of manpower. Bosses who monitor stats all day and chastise you for going 10 seconds too long on a call (shouldn't we be helping and satisfying the customer?). Running out of room ...

Pros

This is a good company to work for and gain experience in the insurance industry. They are the leader in home and auto sales so there are many different areas to work in. Lots of room for advancement if willing to relocate to different areas of the country. Great co-workers on the cat team. Management is fairly easy to work with and understanding of your needs.

Cons

Upper management not listening to the needs of the cat team. When workload is heavy, not much consideration given for time off or # of days worked. Changes made without input from cat team members. Pay not up to par with other company catastrophe teams.
