Pros

The hours at corporate. The work/life balance. Some decent co-workers.

Cons

For corporate, there are the old timers who keep their processes close to their chest because this is a knowledge is power environment. Newbies to Guardian with years of industry knowledge are the outsiders. Can be a snake pit. Shockingly antiquated systems. Processes are NOT efficient and are almost comical. I have seen age discrimination within HR. Why are those in their 60's targeted for termination? Inept management at most levels.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
