Pros

None to think of, except limited ability to work from home- job was tolerable before they changed the way claims are administered without any input from employees.

Cons

Not only is management horrible, they are turning a complex and rewarding career into an entry level assembly line, and forcing highly skilled employees to work a call center. The days of talented, well rounded disability claim examiners are gone at this company, and in its current state I couldn't even recommend people buy the insurance because I no longer believe we "do the right thing." It's very sad actually- was once proud of the work we did. Taking a job in this department will do nothing to advance your career and will leave you with nothing but frustration and a new job search.

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
