Pros

Can't think of much at the moment as it continues to change and what were pluses to have gone. I guess longevity in the business is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Cons

Antiquated Programs / philosophies Lacking ethics/Micromanagers Poor Managers - advanced inept ones Harassment Gender discrimination Poor vacation package - 2 weeks only forever ( most employers offer 3 years after 5 years-not Guardian) I have personal experience with the above. Micromanager hire micromanaging managers so it's self perpetuating. Management overly concerned about impressing their managers. Too many ridiculous changes from day to day. Disorganized! Shocked to have a manager tell me a candidates gender was concerning as she was a woman. I'm an exemplary rated employee and have to try to ignore my manager to get the job done, do the right thing and stay ethical. Can't go to HR as their interests are managements- not employees. Upper Mgmt. outrageous behavior resulted in their hiring a life coach then an HR babysitter when other companies would have suspended someone for this type of behavior- so why bother going to HR about anything?!

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
