Pros

Good pay if this if this is your maybe your 1st or 2nd job. Average pay for anyone with at least 1-2 years of call center experience. Otherwise, you can do MUCH better literally just about anywhere else. This NOT sales AT ALL. you are a PAPER PUSHER for the elderly and the company really ties your hands with their slow processes (They take up to 2-3 weeks to process their own in house mail returns?!) You will NEVER make bonuses as a RESULT of this so don't believe their hype that you will ever make more than 31K/YR.

Cons

Everything else. This company is basically 5 companies IN ONE!! So you can imagine how that goes from an operational standpoint. The 5 companies have nothing to do with each other either. And as a result, the training was by far the WORST I have ever experienced. They literally failed and fired 10/11 people from our training class. The only 2 people they kept were mysteriously moved to a much lower paying position EVEN THOUGH THEY PASSED TRAINING. They are just getting bodies in the door to keep up with all the phone calls. Bottom line is they are over promising to their Health Care Partner's and of course under performing since they really have no good management, no good trainers, and really NO ONE TO HELP YOU PERIOD. I was literally running around the place every day looking for help with my my on the job training but SEVERAL supervisors would NEVER answer their extension, never respond to email at all or in a timely fashion, and they were NEVER to be found at their desk for some mysterious reason.

Pros

When the work is there is a good place to get your feet wet as a coder. The salary is low while you are slow but once you get your speed up it is ok.

Cons

Pay is extremely low unless you are very fast and if you are fast enough to make good pay you won't make your 95% accuracy. The worst thing is you will be working your tail off and then suddenly there will be no work. I am a current remote coder, at least as far as being able to log on to the systems, but I haven't worked in over 2 months with no explanation from management and no communication about expected work in the future. In fact the so-called advocate I was assigned won't even respond to me. It is not fair that you are laid off and they don't even tell you. They just don't give you any work. A few of the coders with the highest QA scores are getting a little bit of work but most of us get none. Very poor communication and very poor consistency. They won't even tell you if you need to look for another job. Poor ongoing training.
