Pros

The claims platform was overwhelming at first, but once learned, it was easy to navigate. Pay was decent, but not reflective of the unrealistic expectations and multiple roles adjusters were forced to take on. Benefits were mediocre. When I was hired, the company was switching insurance carriers. Despite being told multiple times by HR that I had enrolled correctly, I later found out I hadn’t and temporarily lost coverage. I was able to fix it because I was still within my 90-day window, but a colleague wasn’t as fortunate and went without health insurance for a year. The company also doesn’t contribute to your 401(k) until you’ve been there for a full year.

Cons

My time at this company was marked by poor leadership, lack of accountability, and an increasingly toxic work culture. Management is cliquish and retaliatory, if you disagree with them or try to offer constructive feedback (even when they're clearly in the wrong), they hold it against you and look for opportunities to push you out. Rather than taking responsibility for systemic issues, they consistently shift blame to adjusters. Leadership receives little to no management training, which shows in their behavior. They demand blind loyalty, regularly speak down to employees, and create an environment where you’re made to feel disposable. It’s clear many in management believe they’re above their team rather than leading it. The company also shows a serious disregard for Department of Insurance (DOI) laws. Adjusters are frequently pressured to handle claims in states they’re not licensed in—or even in other countries—despite the legal risks. Adjusters are expected to wear multiple hats, taking on the roles of entire departments without adequate support. The workload is excessive and often includes disorganized or unnecessary tasks created without strategy or purpose. In a sign of the company’s instability, there were multiple rounds of layoffs. The first round of employees received severance packages, while the second round, including myself, received nothing. Management is clearly running the company into the ground; they are hemorrhaging clients, and their reputation has deteriorated to the point where very few want to work with them. They also introduced a bonus structure, but it has only been paid out once in three cycles, with the other two denied due to the company’s declining profitability. I would strongly advise job seekers to look elsewhere. This is not a healthy, compliant, or sustainable place to work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we respect the right of all former employees to express their opinions, we strongly disagree with the characterization presented in this review. At North American Risk Services, we are committed to maintaining a supportive and transparent work environment. The suggestion that employees were forced into multiple roles without support or that benefit enrollment was mishandled is not reflective of our internal protocols or the experiences shared by the vast majority of our team. We provide comprehensive onboarding, clear expectations, and structured processes to ensure that all employees receive proper training and support from day one. Additionally, we take employee benefits seriously. Any issues related to enrollment are addressed immediately through our dedicated HR team. Our 401(k) policies and contribution timelines are communicated clearly during onboarding and are in line with industry standards. We recognize that not every experience will be perfect, but isolated incidents or misinformation—especially those stemming from individual frustration—do not reflect the organization as a whole. We remain committed to transparency, employee development, and fostering a positive workplace culture

Pros

Decent benefits and PTO that's about it.

Cons

Micromanagement to the max. It was not like this over a year ago. Job satisfaction will be dependent on the account you get assigned. We were down 2 Adjusters from 6 total. Took forever to get replacements as they don't negotiate salaries at hiring.... First time I've heard of that before. They also rug pulled our bonuses. Blamed us for a drop in performance when we were working with 2 less people on our team.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. While we respect differing perspectives, we must clarify that several statements made in this review do not reflect the reality of our operations. We welcome constructive feedback and are always working to improve—but we also believe it’s important to correct misinformation when it arises. Staffing and Compensation: Our hiring processes follow clear timelines and structured compensation practices to ensure equity and consistency. Vacancies were addressed within industry norms, and salary negotiations are guided by established frameworks that apply fairly across roles. Bonus Eligibility: We take performance-based incentives seriously. Bonuses are awarded based on transparent metrics that are communicated in advance. Staffing challenges are factored into evaluations, and no bonuses were “pulled” arbitrarily. Work Environment and Management: There has been no organizational shift toward micromanagement. Our teams are held to professional standards to meet client expectations, and our management approach balances autonomy with accountability.

Pros

401k, remote, salaried payroll, benefits

Cons

Unstable. 2 layoffs within a year. Pay raises are a joke. This TPA loses contracts as well after they expire. Don't look to retire here.

Pros

Hiring process very thorough but everyone is friendly and helpful. Company has amazing resources for adjusters.

Cons

Having to wait a year for 401 K match (which is a healthy match) is not industry standard anymore and is one thing the company could do to advance their benefit offerings.
