Pros

I am gateful to have PTO. Working from Home is a plus so is having Health Insurance.

Cons

I'm saddened to know prioritizing raises over the last two years was not a concern of Roots for their customer support representatives. We are aware of the raises given to others in already well paid positions...With inflation being on the rise, im lucky to eat once a day on my income. It's becoming clear to me that the importance a CS team brings to Root is lacking. I had hope, but im gradually starting to lose it.

Pros

Managers are very easy to work with regarding time off and encourage taking time off from work.

Cons

I believe Root does not value good work and will not promote people off that good work. They value the interview process much more. I have applied for a promotion that I had done at a previous carrier only to be told I am the most qualified for the position but did not interview as well as someone who is not.

Pros

Benefits, Paid time off immediately,

Cons

Schedule, Software systems, unknowledgeable managers, suspect pay. The customer service department is conducted of 2 different entities 1. General Customer Service 2. Claims. I thank God I elected Claims everyday I work because the General Customer service is ALWAYS BUSY and I mean ALWAYS 100% of the time. There are times as a claim rep you have to transfer a caller to another department and to this day I've still yet to warm transfer a customer over because of the wait times smh. Claims is busy as well but no where near general customer service. Root is a smaller insurance company so with that said the software used to do our jobs suck so badly. There are like 5 apps we use and their all web based so you'll have a crazy amount of tabs to navigate through, the adjusters are so incapable of doing their job its ridiculous 8/10 the customer is needing to speak to their adjuster and they're never available. Back to back calls all day long for two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch. Typical customer service job with typical subpar management. My manager doesn't know anything and has to always get back with me.. Our team leads are more knowledgeable than them. You'll be paid $17 an hour and just like any call center job your duties will be more than you're compensated and they take for ever to process schedule changes no matter how well your stats are or how many new hiring classes come in smh.. and training is only like 6 days and then they throw you into a pit of calls with a messaging Skype system as your only life line and mind you your sup won't know anything so they can't help and they're always in meetings anyway
