Pros

Great training program, excellent salary and benefits above the other insurance companies starting salaries. Supportive management to start.

Cons

The layoffs came around very suddenly, a Virtual Claim Unit was setup within a day which came from Corporate. Our management did not seem to know or didn't communicate it to the staff except within a days notice. Our office was downsized immediately because of that and then the layoffs came shortly thereafter. Insurance goes through cycles and most of the companies experienced what we did. It was just that the communication from Management was not there about what was occurring but in fairness, they may not have known either.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
