Dissatisfied - Office Claims Representative Farmers Insurance Group Employee Review

Pros

Somewhat flexible work schedule. Intensive orientation.

Cons

Ongoing training is practically non-existent or impractical after orientation. Low pay compared to similar positions at other companies. Health benefits are expensive (high deductibles and high premiums). High stress environment, difficult to maintain healthy work/life balance. Workload can vary drastically week to week, but you must work exactly 40 hours every week (even if you have '50 hours' worth of work to do). This has lead to employees working while clocked out for lunch in order to get everything done. Heavy emphasis on productivity, virtually no emphasis on customer service or quality of work. High turn over rate. Poor communication and change management. Information is practically delivered through the childhood "telephone game", where each person modifies the content to their liking, prior to passing it on to the next person. This has created huge inconsistencies in how claims are to be handled.

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.
