Pros

Pays well. Retention on College hires is top priority. Seems like they have 1st pick at the best projects.

Cons

Very clique-y in some larger projects. Especially on the premier ones. Coming in as a contractor who got converted is hard to move out from the domain i was in. If you want to join this company join as a college hire, you have more opportunities. Joining as a Sr or Lead level, you get doing the work that nobody wants to do.. The rest of the company looks and feels like so.. waiting for retirement.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
