Pros

Very open minded and experienced employees. Upper management is relate able and in tune with what happens with even the lowest level employee. Work that was completed felt like it was really making an impact on the company. Ethics and culture very awesome, working at HQ was very laid back and schedule/dress was very flexible. Great opportunities for education, further improvement through Discovery program.

Cons

Location is somewhat boring. Much like any corporate structure, sometimes things move slow. Not exactly the most advanced place for a programmer in the world.

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.
