Pros
There are definitely pros for working with Travelers company wide. Note: I was a field adjuster for 3 years. As an outside rep, you will get a very nice company car. Free gas, personal use of vehicle (at a premium, of course), health benefits, great PTO plan, and the opportunity to work remotely. Also, the training is great. Paid trip to a state of the art facility in Windsor Connecticut.
Cons
Travelers is a huge company. It's very black and white - sort of stuck in "a certain way of doing things". With that said, you are the lowest man on the totum pole. Chances are, your management has little to no interest in you as a person. They are consumed with Metrics. If you are new to adjusting, you will get buried with claims. It just happens. In my experience, there is no support. Everyone is too busy covering their own behinds to realize that the staff is struggling. Claims are tough, yet rewarding work. If you don't have management support, you'll go absolutely insane. Caviot: this is my experience in several offices throughout several states. If you don't care about work life balance, are okay with drinking the kool-aid of a company wearing unbreakable blinders, and don't mind striving to succeed for people who don't care about you, then you'll be okay.
