Pros

Unum has an amazing training program for their customer service representatives. They set you up for success from the moment you start your training. That being said it is a challenging job where you need to be driven by success. If you are not driven by success and challenging your self to be better, this may not be the position for you. Other reps are very friendly and willing to help out. The metrics are challenging but rewarding. They can earn you bonus's, promotions, and more!

Cons

Potential cons could be the metrics that they strive for customer service reps to meet. For me, the metrics have not been so hard. But for others they can be very difficult. Unum has a huge emphasis on accuracy. Which is not a con, but reps need to make sure they either know what they are saying before they say it, or reach out to a mentor.

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.
