Pros

Great Work-life balance, amazing benefits, unmatched job security, and decent pay. Great locations for the regional offices, and great co-workers.

Cons

Pay becomes increasingly insufficient as one ascends the ladder. Need more support staff, and equipment. It would be nice to have more variety of workload.

Pros

Flexible schedule to start anytime between 7:00am to 9:00am and leave 8 hours later Lots of annual leave and unlimited sick leave Great health and retirement benefits Commuter benefits

Cons

All new hires complete a training class before they start taking disability claims from the public. After they leave the training class, they are left to figure out how to do things on their own without timely feedback, which results in mistakes. The management, mentors and colleagues always say they are too busy to help the trainees. The colleagues first point out mistakes made by the trainees to the management. The management tells the trainees their quality of work is poor without providing the resources to do the job well. It is a very negative work environment for new hires.
