Pros

This company has no pros. They are all about the all mighty bottom dollar and only the upper management benefits with bonuses and high raises; everyone else has to work 50 - 60 hours per week and occasionally receive a very small raise.

Cons

This company is all about purchasing new companies and then transferring job duties to their offshore team in India because they can pay those people less money. They are underhanded and deceptive.

Pros

Most people in the office are friendly. The work wasn't difficult at all (considering people without degrees work there.) The hours weren't too demanding and the travel reimbursement wasn't bad.

Cons

Absolutely the worst management hierarchy out of any company I have worked for. Both of the office "leaders" are not qualified in the slightest for their positions. Just because you have longevity, does not mean that equates to being a qualified leader. Clicks in the office are so apparent and if you aren't in Denna's little "in crowd" you will not advance at your position (non producers.) Also, if you don't suck up to the unqualified "leader," you will most likely get pushed out after a year or two for someone else. Your job will become extremely stagnant with absolutely no effort by management to change that. If you are a male on the account management team, you are already at a disadvantage in regards to what DH thinks of you.

Pros

They take a lot of system shortcuts to get most of the work done

Cons

1. Recruiters nor interviewing management will tell you that they are expecting you to handle litigated claims, property damage (vehicle) claims for the insured and claimant, the claimant’s bodily injury claims, nor general liability claims - this is too much for one person (caseloads are 160 & above) because they can’t retain staff because of the lies they tell in order to get people to work for them 2. They want your email inbox to be at 150 and below - you have to email management every week to tell them how many emails you have & the oldest date 3. Every week they also want a count of your voicemails. The director will call your extension to see if your answering the phone or to see if your voicemail is full 4. You’re only allowed to have a maximum of 25 past due diaries however when you’re handling multiple lines of exposures/business it’s hard to do & they don’t take into account that they “purposely” bamboozled people into taking because they know during the recruitment/interview process smart people will know that the workload will be too heavy 5. You only get 1 week of training which is basically learning their chaotic system. In that one week training they will tell you that your branch will train you which is a lie. There is no “formal” branch training. Management will just tell you to read the file notes in order to learn your job 6. Management will not respond to your emails if they don’t know the answer. You have to wait weeks at a time and constantly remind them that you need an answer in order to move a claim file forward. 7. If your working from home and inept management feels that you won’t dance to the beat of their drum they will make a recommendation forcing you to come to work in person 8. They’ve recently started telling adjusters that if they don’t have their workload caught up they will not honor any vacation/paid time off requests 9. Management lies on each other in order to not take responsibility/accountability of wrong information that they’ve provided (yes I caught a manger in a lie) 10. Their sales team oversold the company to self insureds because they don’t have enough staff to take on all the new business. We have people constantly leaving because of the beforementioned.
