Pros

Amazing food selection in cafeteria.

Cons

Corporate feel, gray cubicle environment. They are nit picky and expect perfection, if you have one less than perfect month in a 6 month period, it holds you back from promotion. Terrible training the month this happened to me and my 5 months before and 5 months after of perfection didn't count. Must show leadership in their ridiculous manner for promotion so creating job aids and excel spreadsheets equals nothing. You must email your group tips and tricks even though most of them have seniority over you and so you are sharing nothing new. If you slack for one week after having the best ACW on your team, or close to the highest every single month for over a year, they will ask you to resign, you will never be able to leave the call center, and your future with the company will be gone. Terrible organization, you attempt to make things better for them with what little extra time you may have, and get nothing in return for your efforts.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
