Cons

sexual harassment is a joke to HR and managers despite multiple witnesses and proof, manager even turned a blind eye to sexual comments and will laugh about them a mess, this company is super old fashioned and is scrambling to keep up with technology and modern changes management is clueless, new managers are just thrown into the mess with no upper management to guide them no communication with updates between departments doesn't face issues until they absolutely need to they won't promote you because they're already stretched thin poor benefits no work balance life-they expect you to put everything on hold nobody in company knows how to work modern technology

Cons

As an experienced major loss adjuster with decades in the industry, I found this to be one of the most heavily micromanaged claims environments I have worked in. In my experience, file management was closely monitored with significant emphasis on diary compliance, activity metrics, documentation, and "clicks," leaving little opportunity to focus on thoughtful claim handling. The expected inventory was communicated to be approximately 150 to 175 exposures, which I found difficult to reconcile with the level of investigation, litigation management, and customer service expected on complex claims. Despite hiring experienced adjusters, there was virtually no autonomy in managing files, and independent claim judgment was significantly limited by constant oversight and administrative metrics. Training did not adequately prepare new adjusters to navigate the company's proprietary software, numerous internal policies, and complex coverage determinations, including issues involving unlisted drivers, unlisted vehicles, and policy cancellations for non-payment of premium. I found the performance standards and metrics to be unrealistic given the workload and the level of training provided. Management communication was frequent and often disruptive. In my experience, there were regular interruptions throughout the workday by phone calls, Teams messages, emails, and redundant diary reminders, making it difficult to maintain focus on complex claims. Expectations regarding video calls were also inconsistent. I was initially told that my attire during unscheduled video calls was not a concern, but later instructed to dress professionally at all times because supervisors could initiate video calls without notice. Although the company emphasizes inclusion and employee support, my experience was that management's actions did not always align with those values. After raising concerns through HR regarding management, I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan shortly thereafter and ultimately my employment ended. That was my personal experience, and prospective employees should consider it when evaluating the company's culture. This position may be a good fit for individuals who are comfortable working in a highly structured, metrics-driven environment with constant management oversight. However, if you value professional judgment, autonomy, consistent expectations, and the ability to independently manage complex claims, my experience suggests this may not be the right environment.
