Pros

Great benefits, management is caring and makes effort to help you improve and learn. Probably best benefits package you can get at a company. Profit sharing is awesome! Expect a few extra $1000s at the beginning of the year. Great with working with school schedules. I don't expect the same understanding from any other company. Love pot lucks! I really like my supervisor too and she's a great cook!

Cons

This can be good or bad depending how you see it. The job can be very stressful for some in terms of goals and numbers to be reached. But nothing is impossible and just takes a willingness to succeed and eventually it should become easy and routine. But training is intense in the beginning and some can't handle it. those are the weak ones. It all becomes easy and routine after a while.

Pros

Very good benefits, chance for advancement within the company (see con), chance to move to other departments within the company. Tuition reimbursement (after a year and if your rating is good)

Cons

Micro-management: you will be asked to explain why you take a bathroom break. Morale: if you're in claims you can expect to leave every day thinking you suck at your job because that's who they will make you feel. They focus on everything you do wrong and there is no recognition for anything done well or for improvements. Service - you will be told daily you need to get them off the phone faster and there isn't much room for advancement. Most people who go to claims from service end up going back to service. Sales - I have no experience with this but have been told if you aren't a top seller then you might as well accept you never will be because they don't offer you the chance to improve. Advancement - there is opportunity for advancement but it comes at a price, you will wait weeks - sometimes even months- to find out if you did/didn't get the position. They tell you training begins on one day and then when you show up for class they tell you its a been postponed but they don't know until when. Management - open door policy...this would be great if they actually did anything about the things you tell them need to be addressed. PTO - this is a great concept...if you know a month in advance you are going to be sick otherwise it goes against you and when it comes time for a raise or promotion you will have to explain each time you missed work without notice. Dependability - I know companies want their employees there when they are supposed to be but you don't plan to get in an accident, you don't plan to get sick, you don't plan for your child to be sick and you most certainly do not plan for the death of a loved one.... You can't always give 24 hours notice for missing work and when you do miss work you can expect to be told "You know this is going against your dependability, right?"

Pros

Great benefits and opportunity for advancement. Flexible with handling time off requests. Stable company with lots of growth potential. Ambitious company.

Cons

They are focused on squeezing the most from it's employees. Upper management pretends to care about associates but does nothing to decrease the workload
