Pros

the coworkers have been constantly great and are some of the best people I've worked with ever. The job is stable (I've been here eleven years. You never run out of unhappy customers calling regarding premium increases). Gainshare is nice at the end of the year but it feels kinda like a carrot being dangled above a rabbit. It's a constant reminder.

Cons

the workload is pretty ridiculous. expect to be at your desk 95% of the time if you want to meet the standards and metrics that are constantly changed based off the new hires who come in. Expect little to no break in between calls and expect to be stressed/ have some type of health issues while here. Its probably the most stressful job I've ever been at. Your tenure means little to nothing so don't plan to stay long-term. The work life balance/PTO scheduling USED to be excellent. Now they are basing your schedule on your performance with little to no focus on tenured reps. As this rolls out, the customer experience will deteriorate and the workload will be worse because reps will leave due to this. Career advancement is non existent. Little to no movement (or even lateral movement). Take it from me. I've been on the job for eleven years and check the job listing every day. It's easier to get the training/one to two years experience and move on.

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.
