Pros

Good retirement benefits, though it diminished recently, Some work from home is being allowed in certain areas.

Cons

Nepotism is running rampart in IT. Jobs are no longer secure, most open positions go to people from Dow Jones, Long time Guardian employees are being let go to make room for additional IT staff from Dow Jones. Successes, reputation and devotion to Guardian no longer count. Plans are being formulated to out source whole departments. Rumors of a pending blood bath are everywhere.

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
