Pros

company car, pay is pretty good for a starting position.

Cons

Management talks a really good game. Everything about this company is about marketing, from the obvious that you see on TV and the agents but also supervisors and managers are like sales guys too, trying to convince you how great the place is and how great the company is. And, like I said, they talk a good game. But, you give 110% and give your life to the company, sacrifice a lot personally for them, and they say, "so? we expect that from you. You're just meeting expectations." And, the trend is toward subjectivity. They rate you on "behavior" and your overall rating can be no greater than the lowest score in any of the categories they rate you in, including behavior. So, you could knock it out of the park in all categories and if your boss thinks you're a jerk, he can give you a bad "behavior" rating and you get a bad overall rating. And guess what? "Below meets" expectations 2 years in a row and they will fire you. Of course, your expectations for behavior go way up the longer you have been with the company. So, I guess it's just an unfortunate coincidence that the older you are (and the more you've given to this company and contributed to their success) the more likely you are to get canned. They don't want the older workers. But, they don't say that. They are very creative about it and very cunning. They could just offer a severance , or an early retirement like a reputable company (that they claim to be) would do. But, that's more expensive so they just try to make your life miserable until you quit or, if you're a glutton for punishment and too stupid to quit, well, then they will force you out. So, go there for a couple years, get some experience, don't believe a word they say, and move on to a good company with good people that care about you but don't have to try to convince you about it all the time. Don't waste your life for these ingrates.

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.
