Pros

The people I work with at The Standard is what has helped me through this job. Health benefits are excellent, and the commuter reimbursements are great too.

Cons

The workload is unbearable! Currently I have over 120 active claims, on top of the 20 pending claims that I need to make a decision on. It is so hard to stay on top of these claims, when we are constantly getting up to 4 + new claims a week. Not to mention having to stay on top of monthly reports, MRD, RTD, etc. Our recent 2015 employee survey revealed that many of the workers here plan to leave within the next 12 months. If you are considering working here, please reconsider. It is not worth the headache or the stress for low pay and out of touch upper management. The CEO is horrible and is running this company to the ground!

Pros

Good company with generally good leadership. Good salaries and benefits.

Cons

Company is going through growing pains with recent acquisitions. What made the company unique and close is now a thing of the past. New processes are rolled out with an expectation of efficiencies and savings but they don't match the reality.
