Pros

You get talk to people all over the United States. The microwaves cook food super fast. Also every desk gets a trash can.

Cons

Lots of cons. Medusind. The other thing that isn't too great about this place is the dishonesty with the management. Your are promised one thing during an interview process but once you get the job they change there mind. No one seems to know how to communicate and it's a dang call center. Whether it be a manager, employee, accounting and HR. Seems as if no one sends or says anything to anyone at an appropriate time. If you like feeling like cattle this is the perfect place for you. They always have food or pot lucks going on. Also if you leave your pen (pod) you get the cattle prod to send you back to your desk. Seems as if I can't even go use the bathroom without someone asking why I am at break for longer then I need to be. If you have a problem with something don't expect it to be fixed right away. Takes at least 2 days to get an email back from someone. No one seems to have any follow up to any situation. The training my gosh the training. At first it was great you learn a lot of stuff about teeth that I didn't even know existed. The only problem is most people seem to forget everything they learned as soon as they hit the floor. To problems as easy as reading something off of a claim form.... As I stated before no one has any follow up to any situation. When you first start out of training you were supposed to be assigned a mentor. Well unfortunately for me I was never assigned anyone to help me. I was just pushed into the shark tank with all the Sharks. Fine. Except when I actually do need help I have no one to go to. Everyone that you call outside of the call center is always in such a grumpy mood. You would think working in customer service for 25 years you could at least pretend like you like people. Good luck with moving anywhere in the company if you start as a CSR. Once you start there you are stuck. The only way out is if you know someone better than you. I put in an application and didn't even get an interview, a denial, or my resume looked at. I work for the company...the least you can do is tell me I didn't get the job for some reason. Don't take the night shift position. I repeat DO NOT accept the night shift position. No way of getting out of there once you start unless you can come up with a good excuse such as using your kids to your advantage. I also noticed that if you ever need a day off or have something going on in your life make sure you have a sibling working in HR and you will be golden. HR always has enough pull. Hope you enjoy! And send in your application today!

Pros

Stable, they have nice chairs and the job never changes at all. Everyday it's the same thing Generous PTO, free pop

Cons

I got offered the job by email and HR misspelled my name and there were about four misspellings inside the entire offer letter. HR manager retired after hiring us. Group customer connections has horrid management. Ancient systems in use Automated system is horrible and needs reworking Ideas suggested go unnoticed or unused System uses dos prompt and networking speeds in the morning are so slow I have to get to work 10 min early to power up my computer and open about 10 applications just so I don't get marked late Pay is insanely low for the average of 75+ calls you take daily Metrics are insanely rigid Training while initially it's pretty well rounded you kinda get thrown to the wolves once you get onto the floor and do your job daily, I had a mentor who quit days after and never was assigned a new one I had to look up everything on an ancient, horribly designed manual housed inside of Lotus Notes which has 0 search functionality. Claims auditors absolutely destroy you over one small minute problem or something that has no effect on anyone ever. I was told by a department that they didn't have time to do an overpayment and had to figure out how to do it. (Hint it's not my job it was hers) It seems like everyone is running around with no idea what to do all the time. We are insanely reactive never proactive and lord if that service level comes anywhere near 90% be prepared for all of your meetings and time off of the phone to be gone and never given back. Breaks are only 10 minutes long this is the first company I've worked for that didn't give two 15 min breaks.
