I worked at Travelers Companies full-time for more than a year

Pros – great benefits starting day one. Co-workers were fun and very positive. Some opportunities for bonuses. Rarely stressful at work when compared to similar positions. Pretty decent pay

Cons – There was some micro-managing. Very little opportunity to advance in customer service. Lay offs are REAL !!! New responsibilities were added with no increase in pay

Advice to Senior Management – Pay based on responsibilities ! Also practice what you preach, if it really was all about the quality of work then the top notch offices and employees should be rewarded more and not punished or laid off when the company needs to save some money.

I have been working at Travelers Companies full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Good salary and benefits. Very good physical damage training. Made numerous friend while there and miss them very much.

Cons – By far the worst lap tops and computer support I have ever seen at any previous company. I had 14 hot swaps in seven years due to substandard equipment and inferior quality control in lap top support. Appraiser experienced a lot of frustration and loss of productivity throughout each day and management was unresponsive to the need for change.

The company also had an exceptionally poor claim dispatching system and also inaccurate customer contact info which was addressed in numerous meeting to which management was ambivilant.

Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the "ex-Progressive managers" that were brought into Travelers, they ruined to company.
