Pros

The people you work with are awesome and the work environment is pretty good.

Cons

Work-life balance is not good. The claims positions are salaried. They overload you with claims and you end up either working through lunch or staying late, or both everyday. - if you take vacation time off, when you return to work.. you have to make up for the claims that you missed, and you get overloaded. It’s truly awful. - Promotions are very political, and often are not given based on ones actual skills and abilities. - Entry level positions are growing fast, but positions that are above ground level are far and few.

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.
