Pros

*Convenient location *Company will pay for you to get various certifications related to your role (and insurance in general) *Decent benefits *Wear jeans on Fridays

Cons

*Constant threat of layoffs/replacement by consultants always looms *Though a lot of this is hearsay, the general consensus is this company doesn't pay nearly as well as most others in the area for similar work. *A huge number of people are incredibly nasty and condescending; not to your face, but it's almost like high school with the gossipy insults. *401K isn't vested, at all, until 3 years on job.

Pros

Pay and benefits, supportive coworkers, opportunities to develop critical thinking, communication, and investigation skills. The role provided valuable experience in handling complex claims and making coverage and liability decisions.

Cons

High caseloads and demanding workloads can make it challenging to maintain work life balance. The job can be stressful at times due to deadlines, customer expectations, and the volume of claims.
