Pros

Maybe a decent place to build a resume, but there are better places to get a start. I honestly can not think of any positives with this company.

Cons

Pay is terrible. Claim representatives are paid $10 - $15k less than just about any other company for the same work. Stressful job dealing with customers and dealing with management. If you need a day off you can request it three months in advance. If you want a management position you have to move all over the country. This company is plagued with turnover and incompetence. I left there a couple years ago and can easily say there are far better companies to work for.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
