Pros

People are generally friendly. The company has some good products that genuinely benefit customers and they intend to do the right thing for customers.

Cons

Current org structure has too many managers, not enough actual doers. People are more concerned about personal status and empires than actually doing a good job. Very siloed. Managers may have subject matter expertise but generally aren't very strong leaders and don't do much to develop people. Hard work is rewarded with more hard work. Political maneuvering is rewarded with promotions.

Pros

Great benefits and incentives. Annual 40hrs VTO, 20 hrs CTO, fitness reimbursement, plus more.

Cons

Overly convoluted policies, claims, and procedures that were rarely paid out/handled correctly. This is due to claims reps and customer service reps not ever being fully equipped to perform their jobs correctly. The training and mentoring given does not (can not) cover enough. While in training you are told you’ll understand once you are “on the floor” but once on the floor, senior members of the team will tell you that you will never really get it. You are left to depending on a single person in a 15-20 team that is suppose to help. This ends up meaning you have claims to process and to figure out what to do, you have to stand in a virtual line with your questions. Turnover is extremely high and soon after becoming an employee you see why so many people leave the CSR and SCR roles. On top of not knowing how to accurately do you job, your performance is heavily measured/scored. The CEO and head HR manager knows this is an issue, their solution when asked was “AI will help”. After 1.5 years working for the company more than half my training class of 15 had already left. If you need an entry level job that pays well for relatively no experience you’ll be fooled by this one unless you are ok with not knowing what you are doing and potentially causing financial hardship for elderly people.
