Pros

Great Health insurance Credit Union Campus near the lake

Cons

Extremely understaffed- extensive hold times for the callers and lack of "off the phone time" to actually work on claims. This also results in almost non-existent promotions. I was actually told by a team manager that you have a better chance of quitting the company and applying for the higher position several months down the road. Micromanaged- Everything an employee does is tracked. Your handle time, your talk time, your wrap time, how long your mouse goes without moving, and yes, your bathroom time will be tracked so think twice about drinking that cup of coffee in the morning because it could potentially cause you to lose your job. The attendance (points) policy actually causes employees to call out. In many situations, it is better to call out than to arrive late to prevent points from accruing. The claims software is very outdated (interface similar to Windows 3.1). A process that should only take one to two mouse clicks on one menu ends up taking 5+ mouse clicks on several menus and internet browser tabs. Pay- Many competing insurance companies pay 6-10k more for a similar role. You could easily apply to a basic customer service role at a business within walking distance from the campus and be paid more.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
