Pros

Managers are generally very kind, and want to help.

Cons

The company used to treat agents like professionals then they switched to a call center atmosphere, using Workforce to schedule their employees. Also it takes foreeeever to get basic policies approved because the computer is not designed to approve all quotes, and some have to be referred to an Underwriter. The Underwriters are swamped with work and so many times you lose a sale because we took too long to say yes. Also the software is the wooooooorst! Nothing works, eeeever, but they have the audacity to tell you 'Our metrics show your numbers are not where they should be'. Well get me a system that works and then we can talk. If you want things done on time and you are fast paced this is not the place for you. If you like to take your time, well this is also not the place for you because they give you a truck load of work to do in between phone calls and they are always busy, because its a swinging door at Amica.

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.
