Pros

401k, and health benefits good

Cons

Seems Like the "Uppers" want us "Little People" to be as uncomfortable in our jobs as possible. The metrics that are in place make it very difficult to do our jobs and be confident in what we do. One member of the management team tells us "don't be worried", but how can we not be worried when everyone and their brother is being put on "performance plans" (aka write up). I've never worked for a company that only allows 6 minutes and 20 seconds to help our callers. When you are just a few seconds over for the month, you get written up (And I mean as little as 3 seconds over). RIDICULOUS!!!!!

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
