Pros

Good benefits, Can schedule time off fairly easily if you have ETB/PTO, Gainshare aka profitsharing, gym on site, ability to possibly work from home, decent pay

Cons

Core values don't really apply (primarily integrity and golden rule) endless back to back calls, monotony, nonsensical metrics, mixed messages, contradictory information which equals double standards, attendance policy is inconsistent, Essentially your experience (positive or negative) there will be largely determined by which supervisor you have. Training is rushed to get you on the phones which is ironic as some of the goals are good customer service, reduce cost per call, etc... and this is largely counter productive to that. You quickly realize that nothing is ever good enough, even when your close rate is 40%, Turn over is tremendous due to misrepresentation, retracting promises, overbearing supervisors, and nonsensical expectations. When hired we were told so many people get hired because of growth, when the reality is turnover. Ranks up there with 2nd least favorite job for the reasons listed above. How can one "buy in" when this is the how things are done?

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
