Pros

Coworkers and PTO are the only perks

Cons

System sucks, lots of redundant practices, management doesn’t listen at high levels, APD Express is not express, we do subro on top of the heavy workload 7-9 claims daily, thousands of emails…you have to work OT to keep up. Pay is low to start. Overworked and underpaid. They have a lot of extra stuff they want you to complete on top of your workload it’s terrible.
