Pros

Gain share is awesome, gyms, out door trails, lots of programs to join within the company for professional development, tons of training opportunities, laid back environment in IT. Onsite cafes and store. Work from home benefit, flex schedule. Benefits 401K 6% match. Good work life balance.

Cons

Like someone else said some areas have cliques, so that can make things difficult. Promotions are difficult depending on the department. I've seen not so good developers get promoted in one department and great developers get passed up in another. Choose your area wisely or get hired in at the level you want.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
