Pros

1. Facility: New WH office much better than old Simi location. Ample parking. 2. Benefits:particularly vacation and pension for older employers

Cons

Cons: Key Highlights: 1. High Turnover. Key employees left due to Corrupt directors, AVPs, etc! Totalitarian dictatorship. Micro management. Questionable practices that could possibly be unethical and/or illegal. 2. Double standards and discrimination is the norm for some directors, managers. Favoritism is out of control beyond regular corporate politics. 3. Toxic culture of throwing people under the bus, which stifles innovation and growth. Employees are afraid to speak up in fear of retribution. Unless you are a yes man, they will make your life a living hell. 4. Without accountability from Sr. Leaders, some directors show lack of basic human treatment downwards while acting the opposite when dealing with upward (sr. leaders). 5. No clear standards for promotion. See #3 above for the real standard. 6. Weak HR.... non-existent really. Its really just a front. Support Mgmt 100% of the time. Has no presence or power to be mediator.

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.
