Pros

There are some very kind, caring people who are very good at their job.

Cons

Benefits are not great and priced ridiculously high. You, as an employee, are micromanaged, to death. Training consists of 8 hours a day, on camera. Leaving to go to the bathroom or turning your camera off for a moment, to address something in your home is not only frowned upon, but will be called out, in front of everyone. Pay is also not great - low end of the scale for this position. Seriously not worth the abuse.

Starts off well, goes bad fast.

Pros

Remote job, you don't have to travel for training. They will mail you your work computer.

Cons

You will only be paid an hourly rate for training and very few projects after you are out of training. This company uses a matrix system to pay their employees, which means you will get paid for what you process. The matrix is not set up to be fair and it is next to impossible for you to make your hourly rate on the matrix. They set their expectations very high and make it impossible for you to make your hourly rate. They will not cover the difference if you are unable to make your hourly rate. You will likely end up making minimum wage after being here over a year.

Pros

Was somewhat flexible about when you came in.

Cons

Whoever is in charge of setting matrix pay rates doesn’t seem to understand human nature or motivation. All over this page are replies from them saying that they set the per piece rate at an “above market rate” overall, but what this fails to take into account or mention is that as you work harder, the pay per claim GOES DOWN, so you feel like you’re in a ever speeding up hamster wheel just to maintain the same rate. (And I have serious doubts about the above market claim, too.) Or Sisyphus and pushing the rock, whatever metaphor you want to use. Company started off with a focus on picking off the best of the best of employees from other companies, and setting them free to make *decent* money, and clients could be assured they got things done right. Now it’s just typically corporate, but worse, since most places don’t decrease your pay for working harder. It’s bizarre to see them still defending this.
