Pros

Excellent benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401K, accident, illness, long term disability) at a lower cost than other places I have worked. Over 20 PTO days per year. They will also match a donation to a charity of your choice once a year. Nirvana room with massage chairs Free workout room that is better than some gyms The office tries to have fun- food days, contests, wellness events, etc. Cafeteria with discounted salad bar Electric car charging stations

Cons

The job was fine until we were trained on inquiry. Then we just became the complaint department with people, including Allstate Agents, yelling at us and threatening us over things that are out of our hands. Property was added later, doubling or workload, but pay remained the same. If there is an emergency or illness, PTO is not usually available, resulting in an occurrence, no matter what the reason. People have gotten occurrences for surgery, going into premature labor, and car accidents. Having to work holidays and weekends means there is no work/life balance. There are not enough promotional opportunities. They made a big deal over bumping everyone to 15.00 per hour, but that is lower than industry standards. Most competitors start out at around 20.00 per hour.

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
