Pros

Great coworkers. Decent work life balance.

Cons

Toxic management. Will not get promoted if you don't worm into the inner circle. Weird attachment to being in office and acting like working from home is a mortal sin.

Thank you for your review. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed time with your coworkers and the work-life balance. We believe our hybrid model is the right blend of at-home days to support flexibility, and in-office days to support team collaboration. Regarding your other comments, we take feedback like this seriously, and I encourage you to reach out to me or another supervisor to discuss your concerns further. Jim Frank - Chief Claims and Information Technology Officer

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits
