Pros

Very Few. Individual co-workers were great. Reasonable benefits package. Pay bumps if you agree to work differential shifts.

Cons

Work load is overwhelming. No advancement unless you want to transfer to another office to do the same job. Claims adjusters are expected to work from home evenings and weekends, come into work when very ill, or when weather conditions are unsafe. NPS/Performance evaluation metrics are unreasonable and unsustainable. Constant threat of being fired for being unable to keep with ridiculous work load. Low staff morale. Team Leads play favorites and reps against each other. Unprofessional work environment, inappropriate sexual relationships between reps, reps & TLs, and drug use.

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.
