Pros

Flexibility is really the only reason.

Cons

Poor management - lack of leadership, etc. Somethings are just too good to be true and the agency opportunity seems to be one of them. Most agents who are able to hit the 100k mark after 3 years or so end up spending most of that money back on overhead - think about how much it costs to hire a support staff person, lease an office, pay for advertising, supplies, postage, etc...100k doesn't go very far! The upside is that if you get in good with the company, you could end up getting large chunks of other agencies given to you which helps tremendously!

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
