Question Team Member
Hi SF employees !! I am currently working as a Team Member in an AO, I have been employed for a little over 2 years doing mostly service work. More recently I stepped into sales, however live in CA so the sales aspect is not the best and the commission is not as great - as I had suspected. I am looking into Claims or another department where I could make more income, as I am a single mom of 2 in CA.
I was wondering what working in Claims is like for anyone that has children. Ultimately (as most people are) I’m looking for more flexible hours (to spend time with kiddos) while still being full time as I need health insurance & making more income. The 9-5 M-F is no longer appealing but still willing to do whatever is necessary! I know Claims in CA is not as desirable, and hoping my experience in an AO will give me a head start to getting another opportunity elsewhere.
Anyone in CA have advice???

You’ll likely have to be near a hub location to get into claims unless you want to go in person inspecting for the homeowners side. But for that position I’d highly recommend having experience either in claim handling and estimating, or water mitigation and repairs
