Pros

Pay is livable and benefits are okay.

Cons

Training was terrible and did not prepare you to be on the floor. Consisted of mostly modules. Managers are unprofessional never are available to assist you with claims. They rarely show up to work. You are highly micromanaged and all your performance reviews are public knowledge. The amount of work you do is put on display and actively compared to your co-workers. Very toxic environment. They use vernit system to set your work schedule for the day. It constantly changes and you are graded on how well you follow a ever changing work schedule. Mined updated 11 times today alone. You are working in a team claim environment, there is no claim ownership which causes complete chaos for everyone involved. Very frustrating for the customers and claims adjusters because no one ever knows what's going on in claim since a new person looks at every time a customer calls. You have to BID to use your PTO six months in advance. First come first serve. So even though you have PTO you can rarely can use it. Not worth the stress look elsewhere!

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
