Pros

Good starting salary of €32000 with no experience. Nice office and city centre location. Good training provided. Good social scene - much to the dismay of a lot if people in there.

Cons

A lot of people have left in the past 2 years and not been replaced including managers. A lot of old legacy systems that they say they are getting rid off but no sign of that. A lot of egos around the office with nothing to back it up in terms of work completed. People have been promoted without enough experience. Decisions from above not always disseminated adequately.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
