Pros

Pay, Gainshare, Virtual, Work from Home

Cons

They force you to try to make customers buy Homeowners or Renters Insurance and if you don't meet matrix quota for that you get penalized possibly fired. They say it soft sell just educating customers however you get penalized if customers don't take the offer. That's not right.. This is auto insurance. Seems as if forcing Homeowners or Renters insurance on customer is top priority and providing good customer service without offering these services is next to last.

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.
