It depends on which avenue you take in this profession. Independent adjusters typically work for an independent claims adjusting firm.  These firms have ongoing contractual agreements with insurance companies across the country that allow them to contract out independent adjusters to handle claims when needed. Many major insurance companies do not have the staff/employee capability to handle the volume of claims that impact their organization, so they rely on independent firms to supply them with knowledgeable and available independent adjusters year around.  There are numerous independent claims adjusting firms, please do your research when choosing the firm of your choice.

A staff/employee claims adjuster works directly for the insurance company/carrier. Typically this is a salaried position with consistent work year-round.
