Pros

Sedgwick CMS offers tuition reimbursement and have some certification programs that are actually done on site. They keep a little more up to speed on technology than some other insurance companies and have a document imaging system.

Cons

Grossly excessive amount of work. Long hours, especially for exempt colleagues, and involving weekends. Watch for misrepresented information during interview for position. Management refuses to hire a sufficient number of employees for the tasks at hand. PTO package may look generous, but the unpaid overtime hours I have worked will soon exceed the annual amount of PTO. No coverage for your desk while you are on vacation, which leads to a stressful return.

Pros

The benefits are okay I suppose but they'll deduct your PTO from your severance pay. It's basically a ripoff loan.

Cons

-Constant harassment and hounding from Team Leads. -Unrealistic expectations for case load productivity. Mind you, the maximum expected amount of diaries to be completed is 80+. You're expected to make and take calls while also juggling case notes, emails,and Teams messages that pull you away from your current task. And the workload is moved constantly, regardless of an employee is absent,tardy, or even still present despite being heavy across the board. But you're expected to finish it all "productively" within 8 hours. No overtime and minimal assistance. -Good audit scores don't matter. You could have 98% to 100% , leadership will burn you for missing a few notes or if you're behind on other people's work while also being behind on yours. They say they're understaffed but they refuse to hire more people unless it's your replacement. -You're practically working on a sinking ship.
