Pros

Great brand for honesty and integrity. Snoopy. Good visability with the blimp. Good risk management. Great educational capabilities and product education. Reinforces good ethics and compliance.

Cons

High expenses. Payouts lowering. Pay to 'play' for everything. Compliance is extremely important in this litigious society; that said, should not be 'sales prevention unit'. Just coming into the next century re: securities and full service financial management. Has it's own parameters for these achievements which reinforce 'favorites' and stifle participation and advancement within. Encouragement of using 'natural market' to start career and then drop you for other 'newbies'.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
