Pros

Great benefits, a lot of really bright people to work with, nice perks (i.e. on-site cafeteria, gym, training center, etc.)

Cons

There are many people in management that have no business being there and good people under them suffer for their ineptness. Expectations are extremely high and the company has a well-deserved reputation for working employees to death -- very true. There is no work/life balance and no appreciation for those who work the hardest vs. those who just do the minimum to get by. I was there for 3 years and the company fails miserably in training its employees or giving them the right information/tools to do their jobs. It's common knowledge that they just throw you in and expect you to do the work. They really need to work on that; it's not fair to employees.

Pros

Great benefits and incentives. Annual 40hrs VTO, 20 hrs CTO, fitness reimbursement, plus more.

Cons

Overly convoluted policies, claims, and procedures that were rarely paid out/handled correctly. This is due to claims reps and customer service reps not ever being fully equipped to perform their jobs correctly. The training and mentoring given does not (can not) cover enough. While in training you are told you’ll understand once you are “on the floor” but once on the floor, senior members of the team will tell you that you will never really get it. You are left to depending on a single person in a 15-20 team that is suppose to help. This ends up meaning you have claims to process and to figure out what to do, you have to stand in a virtual line with your questions. Turnover is extremely high and soon after becoming an employee you see why so many people leave the CSR and SCR roles. On top of not knowing how to accurately do you job, your performance is heavily measured/scored. The CEO and head HR manager knows this is an issue, their solution when asked was “AI will help”. After 1.5 years working for the company more than half my training class of 15 had already left. If you need an entry level job that pays well for relatively no experience you’ll be fooled by this one unless you are ok with not knowing what you are doing and potentially causing financial hardship for elderly people.
