Pros

- Affordable health insurance that goes a long way - 401k company match after working there for 1 year - Management does not pressure you to work late often - Employees are trusted and have plenty of opportunities to work independently and as part of a team - You get to work closely with intelligent and motivated people

Cons

- REALLY slow, corporate pace - Ridgid project deadlines that come from high up the chain - Quantity is always preferred over quality - IT helpdesk requests are seemingly ignored for weeks (until after you've fixed the problem yourself somehow) - Old, bulky, bloated (mainly Microsoft) tools - Complete lack of inter-team communication

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
