Pros

PTO Time off in your first year (you will need it for this job), education reimbursement immediately other than this not much positive at this company!

Cons

Very low pay compared to the industry, extremely micro managed, same people get promoted, no career path (they try to sell you on it is a possibility but you start to realize it is just a pipe dream if your "numbers" aren't what they want and on top of it a promotion should be how you would do that new job not how your numbers are currently), 25 new employees in the department every 3 months, 401k vesting takes 3 years so no point in investing in it if you are not planning to stay 3 years. Department is set up to "investigate issues on your own" while the managers have no idea how to do the job and if you do not follow the "standard process" you will get bad reviews even though you resolved the customer issue. Department is setup to say no to customers on almost every issue and "show the agent why". Very little room for innovative forward thinking individuals that are motivated.

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
