Pros

They take real good care of their work at home employees. They let us do our jobs without being micromanaged and they are there when we need them.

Cons

The challenge of working here is being on the front lines especially during this pandemic. The phones are ringing back to back with no breathing room in between calls. The calls start as soon as you log in until the moment you log out. People are upset with us because we're not offering discounts like other insurance companies are. We are being cussed out and being called names. It's pretty bad right now. Definitely out of the norm... Hopefully everything will be normal again sooner rather than later. It's mentally exhausting right now. They are begging and pleading with us to work OT but it's very difficult to to do anything above the 40 hrs per week. It's just too much on the psyche...

Thank you for letting us know that, overall, you enjoy your work and feel supported. We share your concerns about the current situation and understand that our individualized approach to working with affected customers—waiving fees, offering extended grace periods for payments, or accepting nominal payments to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage—can still lead to a difficult conversation when a customer has a specific expectation. As a customer service representative, you are the first point of contact with our customers and I appreciate the support you provide our customers during this unique and difficult time. We understand it’s especially important to get breaks during times of high workload, and as much as the extra time on the phones is appreciated, signing up for overtime should only come after you have had the break you need. The program you mentioned is one of many pieces of a larger approach to engage, recognize, and reward associates. Thank you for your suggestion. Please feel free to communicate any additional concerns you have with your supervisor or HR representative. Thank you again for all you’re doing to help support our customers. Rob Yeiser - Assistant Vice President of Personal Lines Customer and Brand Development

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I’m happy to see you’re enjoying your time with us. I understand being on-call can be challenging at times, but many of our day-to-day operations wouldn’t be possible without roles like yours. If you have any suggestions for on-call rotation improvements, I encourage you to discuss them with your manager. Javier Sotelo – Director of Employment and Employee Relations

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your positive comments about the benefits we offer our associates, along with our culture that promotes work/life balance. In regards to advancement and performance, our shift to MyImpact—our performance program—encourages associates to take the driver’s seat when setting goals with their managers. This shift allows associates to take a more active role on their career paths. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Javier Sotelo – Director of Employment and Employee Relations
