Pros

Hybrid schedule, benefits, nice building.

Cons

No matter how hard you work, the inventory never seems to go down. For every five claims you complete, ten more come in. The new phone system makes staying on top of the workload nearly impossible. We’re required to stay in “Available” status at all times—even immediately after finishing a call. That means as soon as one call ends, another comes through, leaving no time to finalize notes or continue investigations. This is especially unrealistic given that we’re handling complex claims that require detailed research and documentation. Expectations are simply not manageable, and it’s taking a toll. The environment has become extremely stressful. Micromanagement is constant, and mistakes—no matter how small—are documented. More than half the team is currently on a write-up, despite being intelligent, hardworking professionals. Turnover is high, and most of us are actively exploring other opportunities just to get out of this environment. On top of that, I’ve been repeatedly told this job “may not be for me” and have felt consistently threatened with termination. There’s little to no support or coaching—only pressure. At this point, it feels less like a team and more like a constant test that’s impossible to pass.

Pros

- Annual raises for decently performing employees and opportunity for a bonus - Continuing Education available for those that qualify though getting worse over time. Options available lessening and amount paid decreasing. - Some career advancement to a point then hit a brick wall - Hybrid work with most of the time at home though appears they trying to pull people RTO more - Mostly good people to work with

Cons

- Lots of politics if you want to move into leadership or further and more about who knows and "likes" you rather than ability or capability. - Company is hugely top down and there seems to be little respect for front line leaders and employees and their viewpoints then gets "surprised" when people quit or unhappy. - Lack of long term planning and thinking. Leadership seems unable to think or plan more than a quarter to year ahead. - No consideration of cause and effect and what will happen based on actions. - Company frequently says one thing and does another. - People being promoted are frequently number getters and yes people. They seem to lack leadership. - People who question, suggest alternatives, and utilize data and academic research are ignored and treated as a "problem". - They have a single profile for who they want people to be which the complete opposite of their D&I work. - They never mention equity/equality. - Transparency is a problem in every way you can think. You need to know secret codes and master the art of subtext to really understand situations. - Unrealistic expectations where you are asked to do things that directly contradict each other ex. Answer all incoming calls while simultaneously making a calls out to complete check lists. - Technology is not used to full potential - Wasteful processes

Pros

Benefits. Good people to work with but since we work from home, there is very little interaction with others and even when we were in the office even making eye contact with a teammate was frowned upon.

Cons

Managent is a bunch of clueless idiots. If there is away to make the job harder or more time consuming, they are all over it. They are constantly understaff, have been for decades. Can’t keep new employees. And wonder why there is so much turnover when it’s right in front of management’s face. Computer and phone are not working half the time, then without the proper tools to the job, they wonder what YOU are doing wrong. Negative environment, “coaching culture “ which is just some silly way of finding so Thing to not pick over and it’s a moving target. It’s a cookie cutter method to justify their sick culture and jobs. Constant stress, threats and intimidation and bullying by management. Mental and emotional abuse. Try to own you as much a they can. It’s a sick, miserable and insane culture. If you have any self respect, self esteem and confidence in yourself, you can do better. Go elsewhere!!!
