Pros

Pay, technology and structure are still superior to the competition

Cons

The company has significantly gone downhill from the boutique-style TPA and positive working environment that were once offered. They now put profits over people 100% of the time and would rather overload employees with expectations than manage clients properly. Upper management in some offices can be quite ruthless in terms of favoritism and decision making based solely on profitability. The culture that was once thriving has become incredibly toxic, with the most notable example being members of upper management who talk openly about their opinions of individual contributors at work gatherings. I spent several years with this company, and would have spent several years more, had it remained the company it once was. Unfortunately, leadership has ensured that they are no different than the competitor TPAs they so heavily criticize. Also, the benefits are absolutely terrible - ironic for a highly profitable insurance company.

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.
