Pros

Decent starting salary for the area Ok benefits - 401K match, pension, ok health insurance Initial training can be good depending on who you get Some of the best co-workers I ever had Company pays for some industry and college courses

Cons

1-2% raises for most with little opportunity to move into higher paying position Performance reviews very inconsistent across teams and many managers play favorites Promotions given based more on who you know than how you perform Work distribution very uneven with some reps receiving near unmanageable workloads while others sit around and talk all day Poor overall management both at home office and regional office level Lots of college kids and few experienced reps on the floor due to high turnover

Pros

The niche market of educators

Cons

When you work very hard to build a client base, it is extremely frustrating when the company constantly creates problems with policies and has poor home office customer service. No matter how hard I worked to provide great service to my clients, the processing part always was a problem. The company is very behind in their methods and it became embarrassing to represent such a poorly run company. The management would not even respond to call or emails about important case issues or client complaints.

Pros

The employees there are some of the best people you'll ever work with. There is a great deal of camaraderie.

Cons

Senior management thinks that those beneath them are worthless. They do not treat employees with respect and dignity. I think there is a lot of race and weight discrimination there. All-in-all, a horrible place to work. They like to hire recent college grads cheaply and churn right through them. Turnover is very high. Everyone left in the claims office is either extremely close to retirement (and waiting it out until then) or just got hired, not a lot of in between.
