How employees describe working at Amica Mutual
In the past, I've considered the customer service to be outstanding.
The rates are so high everyone is cancelling
Listen to me, I have been insured by Amica for 45 years & this is the first time they have been unreasonable about a claim! They want too TOTAL my car for some minor damage! A claim of $4300 for a car that THEY say is only valued @ $5700. I will think about changing all of my $00k insurance !!!!!!!!
The willingness to pay claims without a lot of arguments
Better chances of being promoted to officer
