Pros

New Cary campus is nice Compensation is above average for the area

Cons

IT practices are very immature and there is a general lack of IT professionalism Over emphasis on IT cost reduction results in poorly implemented outsourcing partnerships, poor quality, reactive management, chaotic priority shifts, low morale, high employee turnover Deeply engrained “old school” management culture, with excessive politics and “boys club” mentality Departmental silos and politics make it nearly impossible to implement solutions or process improvements Low maturity, slow pace, poor leadership and legacy technology will cause your skills\experiences\value\marketability to erode throughout your tenure

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
