Pros

No pros left. But a great place to work if you have poor work ethic, fake it till you make it mentality, Or you are smart enough because you use to own or run a shop and it failed and had to sell or close.

Cons

Company suspended 401k contribution, changed pto to a six-month waiting period for 5 days each on a 10-day cap with 1-5 year wait, till next increase from 80 hours, Implementing Saturday schedule but job offer was m-f and pto first year at 128 hours. The most backward claims inputting system ever, average claim calls are 30 min to an hour. List goes on from there. Grading claim quality is never correct but you have to agree and sign off on it. This is the most amateur hour antics, I have experienced. I have not scratched the surface of the fake upfront environment, no work life balance. I am soon to leave this company as it is the only option left, as I am intelligent enough not to be micro managed by the inexperienced to the fullest extent. If you still decide to apply request the employee handbook as benefits currently are disparate than the job postings, they are using the bait and switch tactic to try and recruit quality talent.

Pros

great pay and benefits and decent hours. got to work from home.

Cons

incredibly over worked. Much more work assigned than i bargained for. Tons of interruptions. Was told i would get 4-5 new jobs a day, but i got 8-10. When i was working on 40 claims at once, i begged to be taken out of the new claims queue so i could catch up. was told to bring it up again when i got to 60. i left with 72 claims waiting for resolution with no time for any of them. They laid off me and 35 other in a sperate department from mine. that department was constantly offering VTO. But my department was swamped. Several of the guys in my training class quit before graduating from training, saying ' this job was not what i was told it would be" when they went thru recruiting.

Pros

I found the company to be very organized. Training was good. Pay was good. Benefits were good.

Cons

Dealing with so many contract holders who were misled and manipulated into contracts by carshield, who take out their disappointment onto csr's. Conflicting information from different parts of the company. Bad call handling procedures.
