Pros

Company culture is second to none. From day one you get a good feel for the culture and charity work. Here are my pros: 1. Culture 2. Growing company - which means in certain states they are hiring like crazy 3. Very attentive HR department that listens and holds management acountable 4. Top notch training regardless what your role is, chances are they have a training program for you. (Claims they will fly you to Cleveland or Arizona for two weeks) 5. Lastly, everyone gets a a year end bonus as long as you are in good standing with the company which is a percentage of your annual pay 6. No drug tests ever. I know right

Cons

1. Depending on your local management determines how enjoyable your career will be with the company. 2. As the company grows they continuously have reorganizations which means managers are being bumped down to lesser positions with less pay in some cases and lower level jobs in some cases are going away all together (luckily they are reassigning most people to other roles) 3. They promote heavily from within, in most cases when a new job is posted they already have an idea of who they want for the job and in most cases they will go through the interview process as a formality. 4. Its a publicly traded company which means all decisions are made to please investors which means more reorganizations for the foreseeable future. 5. Not alot of minority diversity in leadership roles 6. You have to be open to moving where the jobs are if you want to move up

Pros

You are offered a generous amount of paid time off, along with a reasonable set schedule. When you have time to be off claims, while not often, the team building outings are fun. Good Benefits package. You can move up quickly, but only if you are prepared for what you will need to sacrifice.

Cons

The entry level claims position is essentially a dumpall for nearly every aspect of a claim that the other workers involved with don't want to deal with. Far to often other employees don't want to handle a problem or deal with one and someone is given the "sorry you gotta deal with the file owner" answer by someone to have a angry call sent your way, regardless of the fact it is the lowest ranked position with the least amount of authority and will often have your decision overturned without any back up from leadership. Workload is entirely unrealistic with the way your "inventory" and claims assignment are done. Your credit for claims work and with which this is differentiated between claims is entirely inaccurate. Let alone the way you are credited for your daily assignments. far to often you are given a claim opened wildly inaccurate and it is solely your responsibility to track a supervisor down who is often unavailable or moving glacially slow to manually assign you the credit so you don't get steamrolled through out the day for your additional daily assignments, even though you just opened your entire daily assignment but you couldn't locate someone quick enough before you ended up with a double or triple daily workload. Oh want to be credited the next day? gotta make sure to track down that same person who couldn't do it the day before to credit you now.....and the cycle continues. Not to mention there is far to much off the books discussions/direction from supervisors where they will refuse to put something in writing whether through emails or claim notes where they are knowingly instructing you to take action on a claim that is unethical at best all for the sake of meeting their metrics to look good. There is not enough consistent alignment between the many different organizations your state can have in terms of how their area handles something, yet you need to take claims from all these organizations territories whether you are based there or not. Far to often you hear a role in an organization doesn't perform certain responsibilities of a claim, even though it is written within their job responsibilities and expectations. The entire mentality of this position is to essentially hustle for 10 hours a day for 6 months with the promise if you just sell your soul and engage in some highly ethically questionable behavior, you to can be paid more in a higher position and then inflict this same torment on your former role. You will often have more than an 8 hour day, heavens forbid you want to leave early on the rare occasion you aren't swamped and able to have everything done

Pros

The Pay is decent, especially considering how easy the job was. Training is relevant and worthwhile. They pretty much hold your hand for the first 14 weeks or so. They also have flexible schedule options. Lots of overtime available regularly but is very rarely mandatory. Dress code is relaxed. Though I am introverted and awkward, I really enjoyed the people I worked with.

Cons

They knowingly and willingly foster an unsafe work environment. If you attempt to utilize the “open-door” policy, you will be subjected to never ending harassment and bullying, and there’s literally nothing you can do to stop it. No one is going to help you. The very first time I met my new supervisor, he told the entire team that he didn’t like any of us nor was he interested in being friendly with any of us. When he came on, 2 people quit and 3 went to HR about his abusive behaviors and got transferred. Then he set his sights on me, literally the only person who liked him. I was threatened physically and professionally. This is not an exaggeration. He was also caught outright falsifying details of my calls and shrugged it off as his own “human error.” He said the threats were jokes, even though they clearly weren’t. Going to HR was a HUGE mistake on my part. In addition, the parking situation is HORRIBLE and the lot has 97 speed bumps. Despite constant patrols by security, the parking lot is rife with drug use and sex acts. Multiple times per day the entire campus smells like rotting garbage when they empty he trash in the dumpster, and bees and hornets chase you around at any open-air corridor.
