Pros

decent salary, work from home, field employees who hit their numbers are left alone. bonus structure is good but you have to kill yourself to hit the marks

Cons

they give you tons of vacation but youre screwed if you try to take it because they are so understaffed all the time that nobody will touch your work and youll come back wishing you never bothered. they dont pay you for what you dont use either. better be a self starter because forget training too. figure it out or get out mentality. 60 hours plus with standard staffing. if the team is short kiss all your weekends goodbye. they talk about changing but after 10 years its gotten worse not better.

Pros

Decent pay. They realize the increased cost to attract talent to the middle of nowhere (northwest NJ). Excellent benefits and favorable work/life balance. Good CEO.

Cons

Systems are ancient. Very political environment. Success is largely based on which clique you join instead of actual accomplishments. Majority of officer hiring is from the outside instead of within. Very frustrating and demoralizing.

Pros

Salary and a few decent coworkers. Location. Decent breakroom. Nice stapler.

Cons

Sooooo many things and I have not been here that long. Horrible work environment and management . They want everyone to be in fear of their jobs and you are absolutely a "lower class" citizen if work on their claims floor (eg. Your thoughts, opinons, feelings, lives in general are of no concern to mgmt). They just really don't care about you or the family you are trying to support. Actually thinking that this creates better work product, seriously? People, there really is no reason to take this industrial age mgmt style (your just a #)..this is the time of employee power. We need to demand better treatment. You'll get lured by salary (divided by then # of hours "expected" and you are making less than min. wage) like the rest of us (we've all got bills) and pay the price when you walk through their doors.
