Pros

Most jobs are fully remote and work life balance is pretty good. This is a great job if you just want to chill. You don't really get rewarded for going above and beyond (besides some 'applause points' which is $5 per applause). If you do get promoted, it means a lot more work for not that much extra pay. If you do want more money, the trick is to find a new job within the company every 12 months or less if you can. If you don't, you'll notice 2 years go by and all of a sudden your pay is wayyy lower than market average. The good news is that they encourage moving to different departments so it isn't looked down upon. I really don't know why companies don't reward employees who get really good at a particular role, but this is one of those companies. Even though the pay is crap, the benefits are good. Just this year (2023) they increased parental leave to 6 weeks. Everyone gets 4 weeks of PTO, 401K match is just okay, everyone gets a $80/month internet deposit in addition to their paychecks so essentially an extra $960 per year. Other benefits like this are the reason people stay longer than they should.

Cons

The pay is pretty low, dont expect more than 3% a year for cost of living raises. And if you get promoted, don't expect more than 10%...7% is more standard. Way too many managers. Often hear that the company is top heavy. Most teams have 1:1 or 1:2 managers per team. Might be 5 managers and senior managers and 7 individual contributors.

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.
