Pros

Okay pay, some of the supervisors are nice.

Cons

Two words- Resource Planning! They micromanage every aspect of your life. Imagine being timed on how long you go to the bathroom???!!! Well, that is their job! And if you go too often you are "out of compliance." Resource Planning wants you chained to the phone allday long, to answer all of the useless, back-to-back phone calls that come in. Also, Resource Planning "skills" people for the frequency of calls they get, so if you are taking back to back calls b/c Resource Planning doesn't like you, there is a good chance the guy next to you is not getting any calls, because that's how they have him "skilled." If you are pregnant, this is not the place to work. Your frequent doctor's office visits will begin to count against you as resource planning assigns "points for time missed. Except their point system is really jacked up. They consider you missing an hour and a half the same as missing a whole day as far as points are concerned. To go to the doctor, wait in the waiting room, see your doctor and drive back to work can easily take longer than an hour and a half, so the points quickly rack up. A lot of the supervisors here are really nice, at least the Relationship Specialist supervisors are. But Resource Planning is the judge and the jury and your supervisors hands are tied when it comes to Resource Planning micromanaging you.

Pros

Somewhat flexible work schedule. Intensive orientation.

Cons

Ongoing training is practically non-existent or impractical after orientation. Low pay compared to similar positions at other companies. Health benefits are expensive (high deductibles and high premiums). High stress environment, difficult to maintain healthy work/life balance. Workload can vary drastically week to week, but you must work exactly 40 hours every week (even if you have '50 hours' worth of work to do). This has lead to employees working while clocked out for lunch in order to get everything done. Heavy emphasis on productivity, virtually no emphasis on customer service or quality of work. High turn over rate. Poor communication and change management. Information is practically delivered through the childhood "telephone game", where each person modifies the content to their liking, prior to passing it on to the next person. This has created huge inconsistencies in how claims are to be handled.
