Pros

Good insurance benefits, alot of training opportunites, pretty nice facilities (massuese on staff, nurse/doctors office onsite for no cost appointments during work hours, gym, hot food available for sale in cafeteria), some really great people do work there and made some good friends.

Cons

I can't speak for the company as a whole, but I can certainly speak for the STD department at the Plano office. They had the most unrealistic work load I have ever encountered, very political bordering on high school clicks, very outdated systems and terrible IT support (CSC), managers who have no idea what you actually do and only reward suck ups who constantly brag about what they do, company values that are not put into practice, low pay, way too many unnecessary meetings, lots of childish "fun" activities that interfere with your ridiculous work load, and probably several others that I have tried hard to bury deep into my subconscious since I quit with no job lined up and little savings almost 6 months ago. I worked there two years before I just couldn’t take it anymore. On average I worked 10 to 15 hours a week of unpaid overtime and my boss refused to acknowledge it. I would think most places would at least say thanks to someone who worked that hard. Again, I can’t speak for the company as a whole, but if you are considering a STD claim manager position, TURN AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Pros

Remote work, very understanding and kind management

Cons

Very complicated position, things outside of your control aren't taken into consideration when determining metrics so you're negatively impacted and it's really unfair. Equipment issues aren't taken seriously.
