Pros

Lot of paid time off, work from home, 401k %age matching, managers and supervisors are supportive

Cons

Medical benefits are subpar and overpriced, caseloads are unmanageable, frequent job expectation changes, lay offs every 4 yrs during the holiday season with team shifting thereafter, no chances for upward mobility, limited internal transfer opportunities, primary focus is on money not customer/ provider care, pay is not commiserate with industry standard and internally there are wide gaps in pay for the same role.
