Pros

If you are a “friend or pal” of the CEO you will be hired with no skills to do a job you are not qualified for. There are a ton of wonderful people who are scared to death they are going to lose their jobs under the new regime.

Cons

If you like a culture that is ruled by fear you found the right place. It’s insane how in 2-3 years an amazing culture could be completely destroyed. This company was wonderful however a new leader who is an egomaniac was brought in and made sweeping changes, firing tons of talented people who were passionate and knew the business to bring his buddies in. Work life balance is a joke, people are leaving left and right and it is a terrible place to work. If they included the word DON’T in their values it would be accurate. People DON’T count; we DON’T do the right thing...

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
