Pros

Gainshare, competitive pay, very diverse and accepting of others' differences, good benefits, ability to work from home if needed, coworkers are great, management likes to joke to make things more light-hearted and stressful. Nice breakroom with free coffee and occasionally free food. State-of-the-art office. Some managers are very flexible and truly care. MANY opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Very heavy workload that changes from week-to-week. One week you may be able to get out of there on time, and then during peak seasons, you can expect to stay 2 hours extra or so...at least. Must be extremely proficient at prioritizing, time management, and efficiency to stay afloat and get positive performance evaluations. Customer surveys are viewed as sacred, yet don't accurately represent YOUR claim handling. Rigid attendance policy where illnesses are concerned, as they view pre-approved time as only acceptable time off. Inventories are so high, that if you miss a day, even if pre-planned, expect to drown when you return.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
