Pros

Okay salaries. Lots of paid time off and holidays. If you are a fast learner and like to work nonstop you can advance fast.

Cons

New management took over and so many changes occurred. Way to much drama and conflict and discord. Some of the supervisors will micromanage you to death.

Pros

Most of the employees are nice and I don't feel like management is constantly micromanaging me.

Cons

Pay is at the bottom tier of the industry average while they expect claims reps to shoulder the vast bulk of the work. It's very common for most employees not on a time card to work after hours and come in on weekends. Progress at the Missouri office is stymied by bureaucracy in Texas. It literally takes MONTHS to get a job listed when someone leaves, and we are perpetually understaffed as a result. I can't help but feel like this is done on purpose to encourage turnover and decrease staffing costs. Claims are the HEART of any insurance company, and the claims department is the LEAST funded and appreciated. Walk around some other departments in the Springfield office and see how nice their work environment is, then go to the Men's bathroom on the claims floor where we have leaks over our toilets, and water from the bathroom(s) above are LITERALLY leaking on our heads when we use the restroom. The trainers are great but the training is a joke. It's come a long way but they fail to retain new and quality employees because they'll bring in new people with 0 experience and start dumping claims on them, then expect them to go through training MONTHS after they've been there and are already sinking in the workload.

Pros

Amazing products that stand out in the market, believe in customers and supporting them which is very refreshing

Cons

Leadership is waaaaay too old and out of touch with the needs of the sales agents front line. Super amount of turnover when it doesn't need to be this way. If your a professional in sales and insurance this place is a slam dunk 100 job but very hard place to transition to, again doesn't need to be. ...
