Pros

The people you work with are the best, they are always willing to help you. Flexible hours, good work life balance for the most part, great if you are a diversity candidate. Benefits are decent.

Cons

Focus is not on its people. Company use to be a culture about its people. You would always hear from the CEO, with the current CEO you rarely hear from him and he is not people oriented. Company has let go too many people with knowledge of the business and rely on outsiders who know nothing about Insurance. With cutbacks, people are asked to do more with less and it's getting very old. Bonuses being cut and salaries are not great. Always changing direction within the company.

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.
