Pros

Gainshare=especially if you're not on the phones/customer service area.

Cons

The schedules=suck. If you are in Customer Service, you are sold on the fact that you can get new shifts every so often-NOT TRUE. Even after recruiters were found to be telling others this-the employee was the main one that "lost". When beginning, they have the worse schedules that you can imagine, but the recruiter will quickly tell you just to "choose one" About the time that you're about to be on the floor, you can request another shift. What you're not told is some people have been here for years-NO schedule change. Same position. Having to work weekends because that's the awful schedule you're stuck with....BUT no one is calling. You are literally sitting there-just missing your children's activities etc.

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.
