Pros

Pay is very good for the work, benefits packages are great, health insurance especially is nice because of the many options. You don't take your work home with you which is nice. Many claimants are polite and nice to work with.

Cons

High stress, training is frequent yet inadequate. Many claimants are very rude and you need to have thick skin and ability to keep calm under pressure. You will do the work of 2-3 people constantly.
