Pros

- Competitive salary. - Internship program focused on professional growth, public speaking, and developing solutions to real business problems allows you to get your foot in the door for the Management Development Program.

Cons

- Training is cut far too short, includes time on the phones handling real claims, and trainers often either do not have the answers to your questions or seem to be annoyed when you ask them. Overall, it feels rushed. - Thrown onto the phone 2-3 weeks after starting - coaches are there to help but you're pretty much on your own when talking to the customer. A very short amount of time is allotted for holds and calls come in one after the other leaving very little time to ask questions about the various situations you deal with in claims (that were never discussed in training). - Negative classroom-like environment. - Drama. - Micromanagement to the extreme in every sense of the word. - Management Development Program feels more like solely being a customer service representative, you are years away from becoming a supervisor - not very motivating. - Extremely high-stress environment, not for the faint of heart. - Achieving success in claims will largely feel out of reach if you're not 100% comfortable talking on the phone, multitasking while on the phone, dealing with high stress and emotional situations plus constant critique every day. - To be successful in this job you must not let anything bother you so that you can go home and sleep peacefully at night. - The stress of this job took a toll on my physical & mental health, and therefore I had no choice but to leave.

Pros

Great benefits and professional relationship. The Woodbury office does have a great fun committee so they often give snacks and drinks while on shift. Every holiday is celebrated and the office is decorated. Your supervisors really want to help you succeed and they are very supportive.

Cons

Micromanagement Customers are very rude and will yell at you all day. You are not allowed to drop the call if a customer is beig unreasonable. You have to take calls back to back and a supervisor is beathing down your neck all day of you are on wrap up or file handling for more than a minute- keep in mind, you are still working on files while you are not able to talk so it's not like you are not being productive. You receive a "report card" on your performance monthly and everyone on your team also sees how you are performing- This can create anxiety and make you depressed if you are struggling that month. The company advertise that they promote from within (which is true) but you have to be way above a 3 in all your metrics. If you are struggling in just one metric then you will not get the job. Extremely stressful job. You will get fired if you are sick and do not have enough sick days even if you have a doctor's note or hospital records. You will also get fired if you do not pass your exams during training. "Up to and including termination" really is "You will get fired".
