Pros

Money is exchanged for time worked.

Cons

Generally do not care about customers or employees. When the Derecho hit in 2020 we were expected to head into work immediately after the trees stopped flying. Customers are generally irate due to the mishandling of claims by the claims department who mostly don't have to speak to the customers. You get rated on metrics that are designed to favor those who take calls quickly rather than accurately. Always have to screenshot things said by your manager, otherwise they try to gaslight you, and even when shown proof of their error, you still get gaslit.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
