Pros

The benefits and pay are excellent.

Cons

Cold, sterile, life-sucking, cubical-filled monotony. The work is extremely boring. The software is OLD. I spent more time struggling through red tape than doing actual work. The work-home balance is gradually shifting toward work as more and more after-hours and weekend events are planned. Other employees here are obviously still shell-shocked from previous layoffs and restructuring. They get nervous if you talk about something non-work related for more than thirty seconds. Most work through lunch everyday and stay after-hours.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
