Pros

The call volume wasn't as bad as other call centers

Cons

everyone is fake and in it for themselves. I never had an attendence issue until I got covid. you can't have more then 95 percent of unscheduled absences in one month Which average out to be 8 hours. Of course after getting covid I had greater then that amount. Which for me happen at the last week of jan into feb. They went back and use my vacation time for the time I missed for covid and that put march in the red too since you can't schedule vacation time without having vacation available. You get 3 hours of vacation every two weeks. So first week of April, I got my verbal, written, and term all in one day.

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.
