Pros

Everyone is a delight to work with and you have great work/life balance. There's a good benefits package for families and you feel really secure working here. I don't think they've had layoffs any time recently or ever (?).

Cons

Senior leadership is insecure about rapid change, risk, and growth through failure. This inhibits the company's ability to thrive with its excellent staff and well-meaning mission. If someone somewhere decides to invest in a framework or idea, we will continue with it long after it's proven worthless / costly.

Pros

Excellent training and onboarding, supportive colleagues, and plenty of opportunities to develop professionally. Ample support for continuous learning and the chance to take on more responsibility over time. The benefits are competitive. There is room for growth and advancement over time.

Cons

I haven’t come across any downsides.

Pros

Nearly all remote work for most (some are 100% remote). Some still hybrid if you are unfortunate to live close to a branch. They try to keep work life balance there for you. Most management (some do not) actually care for you personally. For the industry, caseloads are manageable (still tough job).

Cons

They are slowly becoming more and more controlling in how you work. The new phone system that is coming in (Genesis) is "big brother" listening in and monitoring your day-to-day activities to make sure you are in fact working. NOT A GOOD FEELING! It started with front line staff and now they seem to be rolling it out to their tenured adjuster staff. They should let the fact that we are settling claims show for itself. They say it is "training." I say it is intrusive and fosters a feeling of mistrust. Can't wait to retire! I love what I do, but don't like the trend I am seeing and feeling.
