Pros

Semi Friendly Environment, More bad than good unfortunately.

Cons

Unfair wages: Two departments handle customer service, one is extremely busy (90+ customers on hold at any given time) and the other is completely laid back (20-30 reps available at any given time). Both departments get the same wages. Horrible benefits: The lowest deductible plan is 500 deductible PER dependent, and once that is exhausted, it goes to 80/20. Generic prescriptions ONLY will be paid for, if it's not available in generic, you will pay 50.00+ per perscription. Horrible supervisors and managers: They say they try to "coach" you, but there's no coaching involved, you just get meetings where they yell at you and tell you that you will get fired if you don't meet their metrics. Unobtainable metrics: Customer Service is becoming a joke, within the past 6 months you now have to SELL your incoming calls and meet a goal of 35% in order to keep your job.

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.
