Pros

Good insurance coverage is definitely a perk for working for an insurance company. Friendships formed--people often complaining about unfairness/upset about the job is what I believe pulled people together.

Cons

No growth for employees. Any and every job (above entry level) was hired from outside of the company. Caused dissatisfaction overall amongst employees--lack of teamwork, apathy. Very difficult for anyone to take time off--that was a huge complaint from everyone at lunch. Workload overwhelming with no overtime allowed from employees. Overall lack of appreciation for employees shown from manager--did not seem to trust anyone--Therefore creating unhappy work environment.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
