Pros

Used to be a good place to work - made great friends, had opportunities for growth and knowledge (80's, early 90's)

Cons

This place DOES NOT care about employees (and probably not the customers either). Stockholders are 'king'. Only care is cutting expenses, so that CEO (and bonus level officers) can get their bonuses. CEO rec'd 30% increase in income for 2009, after cutting 1000's of employees (and losing customers and policies in force). Morale is at an all-time low, favoritism and brown-nosing culture. They are a 'good ol boys network'. Several Million dollar projects are started, then aborted each year. The strategic planning is horrendous. Millions are wasted annually - with stops/starts - then with no implementations. To make budget for the next year, they make more cuts (but the gains or efficiencies are never achieved). Nice environment - eh???

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
