Pros

Gainshare, work from home available to new hires now.

Cons

Some will say this is every company but to anyone reading this, DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING A RECRUITER, TRAINER, OR MANAGER TELLS YOU. This company is a sink or swim environment and there is no loyalty or employee support to be found. When you apply for an entry level role, consider whether you are willing to do it for a decade or more. Getting promoted out of the call center is about as likely as a normal person becoming a famous actor or athlete, which is to say, it doesn’t really happen. Your schedule flexibility needs to be 24/7 high salary married to the job level even though you are just a phone slave. You need to be okay with the idea that only the weak ever fall ill or ask anyone else for help. The only way to survive is to hold your mental frame and not drink the koolaid no matter how much others pretend to enjoy it.

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.
