Pros

You can work from home and they send you monitors and laptop you need to do the job.

Cons

Pay is below industry standards, every possible metric they could monitor they do. If you aren’t on the phone talking to a customer, contractor, or mitigation company, you should be ready and available to take random customer service calls that have nothing to do with the claims your already struggling to adjust and will add more work to your already enormously bloated list of daily tasks. Managers will berate you publicly in unit meetings if your numbers aren’t where they want them. There is so much turnover in this position, they expect that they will lose at least 50% of each training cohort that comes through and they’re always hiring more and onboarding more because they know people will quit. Out of my training cohort, all but two people quit out of at least 20. There is an expectation of working past your shift if you don’t finish everything even though there is no possible way to finish everything because your job is contingent on other people like contractors and mitigation companies doing their jobs on time and customers being available for work to be done. They offer you increased pay if you take on more claims. The only way to make more money is to take on so much work and work outside of your shift to complete what you can. It’s a miserable job. Steer clear.

Pros

None. Please do not work here if you value your career.

Cons

Training- Absolutely poor training! What they taught in 2-3 months of training was nothing like what we actually had to do on the job! Important information was missed time and again that was needed to perform our jobs properly and by the time we were out of training and handling live claims, it was too late. Work/Life Balance- Let’s just say that I will not wish this job on my worst enemy! Expectations are completely unrealistic when it comes to handling and closing claims. They expect all of the employees to work more than their shift to finish the job and many employees, including me, miss their lunch and breaks on a daily basis in order to keep up. Manager- My immediate manager was an absolute failure! She has no knowledge as to how the entire property claims process works from beginning to end and therefore I couldn’t even ask her for any help/questions! Combine that with already poor training, it made my decision to leave pretty easy. One more specific incident that pushed me even harder to leave was when my manager made a comment about how I pronounce the word “plumber” in an official meeting. I am an immigrant so of course, I have a slight accent. For her to make an ignorant and borderline racist comment on how I pronounce certain words in meetings that is actually meant for constructive criticism and open discussions was completely unacceptable.
