Pros

-Most managers (especially those who've been there a while) are very nice, responsive, and supportive. They don't have the power to change corporate policies, so don't expect them to excuse your tardiness/absence, etc. But if you have a problem they'll do their best to fix it. And if you don't have a good manager, you can usually get moved to someone else's team. -Overall, very nice coworkers. Most people are friendly, welcoming, and will do their best to answer your questions and have your back with customers. -Larger than normal cubicles/work areas, sit and stand desks, all the office supplies you need are provided at no cost. -Good health insurance, gym memberships reimbursed up to 80%, grievance time, pension offered after 5 years vesting service, bonuses for referring new employees. -Lots to learn, especially if you're new to the industry, but the training and resources given will be more than adequate. There's always someone to ask if you have a question.

Cons

-Typical call center environment: heavy emphasis on your stats/phone time, which is averaged out by month. Certain activities, like direct extension calls/voicemails/emails, don't count towards your totals. If you're a nice person who customers tend to get "attached" to, you will find yourself doing a lot of extra work you don't get credit for. -It's difficult to get fired. Even when someone is so verbally abusive that half the office refuses to work with this person. -If it's 5 o'clock and you're on the phone, you have to finish the call. Even if you're there two hours late or more. You get paid overtime, which is nice, but it's hard to plan appointments, etc when you never know if you'll get out on time. -If you're one minute late, you're in trouble. Not very understanding of illness, traffic, etc. -You will frequently find yourself doing other people's work and taking the heat for their mistakes. This is partially because of the emphasis on taking incoming calls. People delay answering emails, voicemails, etc because they haven't gotten their calls in for the day which leads to annoyed customers, higher number of incoming calls, and less efficient handling.

Pros

There is always food! Everyday someone brings in food which always brightens the mood.

Cons

Management sucks! Some managers talk down to you, then others micro manage and some lie on you to other managers.

Good but not great

Pros

The people are great and the atmosphere is for the most part laid back. Very good benefits and vacation time as well. No micro management. They put the customer first which is a plus in this line of work. Decent profit sharing bonus. Flexible job.

Cons

Claim volume and salary. They are way under market for salary. Managers carry a large claim load as well as managing 6+ other people. The company tends to do business "old school" and there are a lot of pretentious meetings and dinners with upper management in which they take your feedback, but not much is done to solve the problems voiced by the staff. It's a dog and pony show. They claim to offer a pension plan, however it is aweful. Don't count on it to retire!
