      SAY No to Claim Life if you want to Live Your Life

      Pros

      All of the fringe benefits are positive- Flexible in the hours you actually work, good food , healthy options and homemade options with on site cafe, good work out facility, decent benefits, clean working environment.

      Cons

      Management is cliquish, HR is sub-par, and the salary can be at the bottom of the range They are working on this in the claims department trying to bring up the pay to be on par with other claims departments in the area. If you are hired hourly you are expected to work 50 plus hours as needed. Which ends up being all the time. So the flexibility is just in the hours you work but you will actually be working all the time. Good if you just want to make money and have no life. Claim work is exhausting. It has a very high burnout rate and management does not have a clue on how to fix the problem- which seems simple HIRE more people and increase retention of the employees you already have, by treating them better! Career opportunities are non existent in the Claim department.

      Pros

      It's a good culture and there are great people to work with.

      Cons

      The company knows that there are not a lot of other similar employment opportunities in the Des Moines area and takes advantage of that.
