Pros

Great pay, benefits, 401k, a lot of great people, bonus and raises every year, hybrid work environment, PTO that builds and rolls over into the following year

Cons

When you go into office you're doing everything that you could just do at home. The training for the specialist roles is not good, not the trainers fault, it's what they're given. You go on to the floor not really knowing how to do the job and then before you can fully learn it you're getting more and more claims piled on you with no cap on the claims because it keeps being pushed back. And then when you express concerns, you're told that this is the job. Overtime is the only way you can truly keep up with everything. You're taking calls for other people's claims at least 2 times a week while trying to take most of your own incoming calls, while trying to handle your claims and everything you need to do in those. And in many claims, you're handling the entirety of it - liability, injuries, property damage, and possibly litigation. It's a lot and most don't know that going in and training doesn't prepare you for it. Not a lot of sick leave

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
