Pros

The job is relatively low brain function as long as you follow the processes. Just don't get too excited to work legitimate fraud cases. Benefits are decent, position is stable, work is not hard, and profit sharing (if awarded) is nice

Cons

The workload is unbearable especially when compared regionally within the company and to other companies separately. The job is much lower paying than other companies which is probably why people leave for other places as opposed to come from other companies. There are ever-changing guidelines and metrics that rarely align. Upper management lacks much-needed understanding of the job functions of subordinates, usually because they are not promoted from comparable job titles. There is little time afforded for self growth or training or to spend time delving into issues, as such you are kept so busy so as to not expose the redundant issues or truly provide examples. And if you ever think you're gaining traction, a new process will be implemented to completely sidetrack you

Pros

Competitive health benefits, 401k matching, genuine, people-focused leadership, career mobility, a renewed focus on driving culture across the company.

Cons

Although it’s not a negative for me if you are not used to receiving regular feedback, good and bad, then you may struggle early on with the culture.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
