Everyone loving their jobs is crazy. Were you all working. Insurance sucks and yes you get stuck here. Decent salary and benefits suck you in.
I agree and feel 💯 the same way.
I genuinely like my job in my current company, though I definitely struggled with job satisfaction with a previous employer. I enjoy the critical thinking, evaluation, and even sometimes puzzle solving aspects of the work and now with a supportive structure, much of the stress of the work had been well mitigated
I really enjoy my job. Every day is something different so you have a wide variety of things to work on, and usually at your own pace in your own way. I typically get to choose how my day goes and I know I'm making a difference for my clients. The more I learn, the more confident in myself I become, and the more I enjoy it.
I love my job as a commercial lines producer
Every job has good and bad parts.
No not in my area of the company at least. Morale is horrible.
I started a scratch agency over 30 years ago and sold it in January. I was able to build the book size to 10 Million with the help of staff and the fear of not being able to provide financial stability/security for me and my family. I loved getting acquainted with people and helping protect the liability exposures which surround us every day. I did not like selling on the financial services side (Life & Investments) but ironically, this is what we did best. You don’t have to like the job to be successful, but if you do enjoy working in an area in which you are interested, you’ll be better at it, and the day will go by faster😉
I like the paycheck
I actually love my job, was a PM for restoration company and could not stand the BS they make us do to insured and how they program their business on us taking advantage of homeowners so they can make a hefty 45gp and then nickel and dime us on our salary while the only overhead they have was a person like myself. I had all my rebuilds done with subcontractors, kept my desk clean, no issues that went beyond material no being available, it was funny cause when I left to be a property adjuster they hired 4 people since I left and all have quit, the offered me to come back and still the salary and requests were a joke. I was a 2.6-3 million a year in rebuild PM. I ran up to 30 projects large and small and they only paid me a salary and the pick up truck I used. Complete joke, atleast moving to the carrier side I am able to help the insured that need it. We all know there are people out there that don't deserve people like me but that's par for the course, but I write a good estimate because I actually know what I am doing, insured that complain are either greedy and think they are owed it or their adjuster wrote a crap estimate to begin with. My only complaint is that your work, accuracy, authority reviews don't matter as much as a shifty survey, if the Homeowner doesn't complain and is still a client that means they are pleased and satisfied. Trust me I wish I could find a place that truly noticed what I bring to the table, confident in what and how I do it but in a sea of garbage there are only a handful of truly exceptional people that care about all aspects of their job and what they do.
I have worked for three great employers and there are two employers that I never should have left-one I had to leave to escape a crazy ex and the other was a very poor life decision. I have just able to leave the worst employer where I lost 10 years of my life, but hoping this new position will be my last stop. Being a propery/casualty claims adjuster is difficult and getting worse every year, but you hold onto the memories where you were truly able to help someone and where people are truly appreciative get you through the rough patches.
