Pros

Long history of managed care.

Cons

WAS great place with GREAT management until 5 years ago. Then had a CEO change everything to "maximize" the billing. They removed all perks (paid luncheons, no Christmas, no good raises, no incentives) and bonus is 3 month rolling (if you take a vacation-you start over). Would not hire additional help to cover high end times when other CM's quit. FCM files could not get the attention unless you worked till midnight - in which they demanded. Corvel used to be a great place to work...and now it is all about continued harassment to "capture billing" for anything in which resulted in a loss of several accounts. GREED doesn't pay. To use the RN's for just mere profit and NOT allow us to be RN's is a disgrace. Good assessment and development of trust with injured workers are vital to get the IW back to work. Corvel demands you "bill" during these times instead of developing the relationship and obtain accurate assessments - which results in "angry, unhappy and untrusting IW. If you have DOL files, they will take half your income while you do all the work. This affects the whole outcome. I would not ever consider working for this company, the bridge was burned with them. A house divided will fall and Corvel is doing it. Check out all the lawsuits online against them, I was appalled!!!

Pros

Excellent pay structure to offset poor benefits and high healthcare costs. There is no Short Term Disability offered.

Cons

Management frequently lies to clients and employees about adjust case loads. Adjusted frequently experience case loads of 150 to 200 cases per desk. Management lies to clients regarding adjuster turnover and account managers are expected to lie as well. Alcohol is a big part of Corvel culture. During my first week of employment I was expected to drink with my regional VP and a client. During the conversation the client became extremely intoxicated and began mocking me. The VP looked on and said, none of this matters. This is just some hazing. Managers do not take the time to develop their cohorts. They bully people into working harder and taking on more than they can physically manage. When you make a mistake the response is not, let’s learn from this. The response is, do it again and you’re fired. This is common Corvel culture. This is very much a classic corporate greed structure that pushes people to their breaking points, fires them, and funds someone else to plug the hole.
