Hire a lawyer if you need to use their disability insurance

Associate scientific programmer/analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of my coworkers were friendly.

Cons

Your ability to use the disability insurance is completely dependent upon how much the company likes you. They can end it at any time for any reason by stopping paying the insurance premium. Their disability insurance system also requires you to jump through many hoops, some of which you're not informed of. If you miss one of these hoops the company or insurance agency has an easy excuse to deny you disability coverage.

Science Systems and Applications Response

We apologize that you had a negative experience with our insurance carrier. At SSAI, we offer all full-time employees access to short- and long-term disability insurance. We have a staff of professionals that try their very best to assist all our employees with their individual needs.
