No work life balance. Cat adjusters work 7am-7pm, 10 days straight with 4 days off. The schedule can get old real quick. The job in general is exhausting to say the least. Most days I dread getting out of bed because I know I will receive messy claims meaning a supplement from 3 years ago and just now the insured/contractor wants more. This job is like cat and mouse when it comes to getting your claims completed. Before we can get approval you need to do this first. So the claims drag on forever. Literally the processing team will assign you another adjusters claim and they are currently in office. LIKE WHAT. So now I need to read the claim from start to finish and figure it all out. When the processing team can easily assign the claim to the original adjuster that knows the case. BUT NO. You do other adjusters work here and it is frustrating because literally everyone does the job differently. Have you ever had a job where you cannot get out of bed due to extreme anxiety? Well this position will have you going crazy literally. The workload is unbearable 4 to 5 new claims (mostly supplements) PLUS you still have to work your own supplements from prior claims. So somedays I have upward to 10 claims. And my own supplements aren't factored into my workload for the day. This position is stressful and def not sustainable long term. And when it comes to the packages. Mostly they are incomplete with missing information and that is another frustration. And lastly, training is limited so the expectation is that you learn outside of work how you do your job better. After 12 hours the last thing you want to do is watch videos for learning hours. Before accepting the position, please read all the feedback and really know what you are getting yourself into. This position is beyond demanding.

They did a Gartner study to check how much they were underpaying their data scientists. It came out to about a range of 30k per year below market. They adjusted everybody so they were at the 25th percentile of the market, yikes, and update the numbers every year on the pay update slip so that you can see how much under market you are. They give numbers for 25th and 75th percentiles. Literally doing this stuff with their faces showing. SMH. There are, throughout the company, departments that think they can do data science when in fact they are software developers totally incompetent to do data science. You will fight to even get your models used for anything. The politics is disastrous. Most people quit pretty quickly unless they like the laid back environment and are comfortable coasting. Huge turnover. Most people that stay are junior just waiting to get some experience. Everyone leaves to go to Amazon or Microsoft where the pay is reasonable and actual tasks are accomplished on a regular basis.
