Zurich American Claims Specialist in Rancho Cordova, CA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

In this economy, a company that is still operating, and the pay scale is in the average to above. The building is nice and there is parking that is adequate. The benefits are average.

Cons

This is a very "cut throat" company. Management has their favorites, and all others beware. The company promotes spying on employees from their co-workers. Management gives perks to their favorites and penalizes other employees that may request the same consideration. Management is searching for employees to terminate rather than undergo the higher premiums for layoffs. There are team managers that are not qualified for their positions, and advise the team members incorrectly. However, Management continues to raise the bar. Once the employees satisfy certain guidelines, the guidelines are made more difficult. There is a great deal of cover ups. Management and supervisors continue to handle claims inappropriately.

Advice to Senior Management

I would advise Sr. Management to clean house in regards to the supervisors and especially the claims manager of this office.

This is the pattern around the country, not just in California where this employee writes from!

I thought my department was the only one where employees spy on one another. Also, beware of what you say to management, discussions in private regarding personal issues WILL wind up being used against you. There is no trust, and morale is very low. The administrative staff is especially treated like dirt (I'm not an admin, so no bias here), and those a few rungs higher up are not treated much better. There are a few managers who always seek to blame those below them for their own mistakes, and the mood in the office is terrible. Judging from other reviews there are happy departments, but not mine or those of others I interact with in the company.
