Pros

Benefits are good with a health program discount. You get an exam with labs from doctor and complete a survey and save every month for the year. You feel a sense of accomplishment helping people on a bad day. The team environment is good for help even if a manager is lacking.

Cons

The managers have varying levels of experience. Many managers have years of claim experience but no teaching skills. Expectations are to be across the board, but are so subjective that they are not. I had 8 managers or managers in training over 3 years. As soon as you are clear on Expectations, you often have to leave for another work group/manager. I left a higher paying job for work life balance. I got that about a year. I had Fridays and Saturdays off. The last 2, I had split days off. So lower pay, and no work life balance. There are periods of non-optional overtime. It's not called mandatory, people with ADA's would be an exception to that rule.

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
