Pros

Yes, it's stable. Rumor has it, CorVel never had layoffs, although I cannot attest to the accuracy of this claim. Lunch once a month. Occasional work from home.

Cons

Where to begin. Benefits: are dismal to say the least. You wont' be eligible for more PTO four years. Retirement (401k) contribution is at discretion of the company once a year (amount unknown), so say good bye to compounding. Health insurance is underwhelming. Long wait times to be eligible for any benefits. Compensation: sub par and noncompetitive. Process: segmented, siloed, and process-heavy. Lot of 'paper pushing' to get anything done or deployed. Agile? - yes, we've heard of that, but we'd rather do things the old ways. Technology: do you feel like working with 10-year old tech? Then, it's a place for you. Database is King. And since SQL is inherently a procedural language, forget about "object oriented" and all that modern software nonsense. Dull projects of stamping out forms await you. Management: cliquey lifers with decades into it, so expect groupthink and illusion of change. Managers are emotionally unintelligent and poorly qualified to lead and mentor people. You're on your own when it comes to learning the ropes. Culture: none to speak of.

Pros

Excellent pay structure to offset poor benefits and high healthcare costs. There is no Short Term Disability offered.

Cons

Management frequently lies to clients and employees about adjust case loads. Adjusted frequently experience case loads of 150 to 200 cases per desk. Management lies to clients regarding adjuster turnover and account managers are expected to lie as well. Alcohol is a big part of Corvel culture. During my first week of employment I was expected to drink with my regional VP and a client. During the conversation the client became extremely intoxicated and began mocking me. The VP looked on and said, none of this matters. This is just some hazing. Managers do not take the time to develop their cohorts. They bully people into working harder and taking on more than they can physically manage. When you make a mistake the response is not, let’s learn from this. The response is, do it again and you’re fired. This is common Corvel culture. This is very much a classic corporate greed structure that pushes people to their breaking points, fires them, and funds someone else to plug the hole.
