Pros

Health and other benefits were great. Pay was good, but only because I had been there long enough to gotten deep into the pay scale. In the end, raises were non-existent. Work life balance? No such thing. Just words.

Cons

Has gone from a quality job to a quantity job. And boy are there numbers to be tracked and ratings to be given. I was given the "opportunity" to move between claims divisions to a group that was struggling with their quality scores, on files and customer service. My scores were always top level. 2 yrs later I was fired, for of all things, not returning phone calls?!?! After 20+ yrs as an adjuster. Oddly enough, my quality scores were still top in the unit. And oddly enough, my pay was higher than others, and I had just turned 50. Hmmmm... I asked for a copy of my personal file, and was provided one. There was nothing in the file at all about all of the "probations" I was advised I had been put on, or all the verbal "warnings" I had been given. Nothing to indicate my performance was sub standard. I was let go by a promising young man in the mgmt training program. I expect he was doing what he was told. He even offered to be an employment reference in my job search. He saw no issues with my performance. There was a time when providing excellent service to the policyholder was job#1. And at that time, this was a great job and a great company.

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.
