Pros

At one point overtime was unlimited, Its not hard to get time off, the work environment isn't harsh ,plenty of break areas, 401K, benefit etc.. There's opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The pay was good, not great compared to other insurance companies. No Insurance discounts, Its a hit or miss with management. You may end up with a great manager or a horrible (possibly racist one) who doesn't care much about you.

Pros

They still offer 401K and a pension, as well as a profit sharing program. I don't know how long that will last.

Cons

Job security is at an all time low and they are continually scaling back benefits. It's not as desirable a place to work as it once was.

Pros

The company really does employ some great people. The environment my teammates and former training mates create help make the job bearable.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Low starting pay compare to every other insurance company, and they try to work you to death for that pay. Unreasonable expectations. They want all of your time, even your weekends when OT becomes mandatory. If OT isn’t mandatory, and you just want to work some extra hours to supplement your pathetic check, they make it mandatory to work a weekend shift in order to work ANY OT at all. Low morale. Impossible workload. Incompetent team managers that cannot do the most basic jobs of the associates but are expected to help solve problems. Team managers only care about themselves and metrics. They’ll like you when you’re making them look good, but if you have a problem, don’t expect any sympathy let alone an actual solution. Incompetent corporate that doesn’t understand how total loss claims would or the environment in the actual call center. They make everything worse and harder than it has to be. Job isn’t as secure as it used to be. Business is going through a lot of changes and everyone is on edge. Can’t change departments even for a really good reason without supervisor permission. You’re basically held hostage.
