Pros

They have a decent 401k, and a nation wide recognized brand. Paid holidays and standard 2 weeks for PTO. Great vending machines.

Cons

The entire IT staff and infrastructure is outsourced (as in vendor owned data centers), soup to nuts. I’m IT Very few full time staff outside of Director level or you are a project manager. What this means is very few people in the entire IT organization have any idea about some of the most foundational pieces of engineering, Sys Admin, or Developer Operations. To build on this you get vendors running the show, giving estimates, and even placing their own people in executive roles which, I can’t see how is not a conflict of interest. More over their architectural decisions are and continue to be questionable, at best. If you are interviewing for IT all you have to do is ask, don’t take my word for it. The short, if you want to practice your skills doing power points and being a good project manager, this is the place for you, but if you really want to do meaningful engineering work, I would say hard pass!

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
