Pros

Very nice coworkers and superiors. They spend 2 months training you.

Cons

2 months of training was still not enough to learn the ins and outs of everything. Feel very lost in trying to get help with work duties. The hours are awful. They also will sometimes require that you work 2 extra hours for multiple days on short notice. By the time work is over, the day is over. They will also pull volunteers to work extra days/holidays/shifts, if no one volunteers then they will pick at random.

Pros

The money is not bad for the job

Cons

There is no formal training or structure and for the most part you learn on your own

Pros

Decent healthcare benefits and benefits in general

Cons

-The poor leadership and the perpetuation of poor leadership by upper management for years. -Perpetually understaffed in all departments. -Ineffective Human Resources Department. The HR Department does not respond to employee questions or concerns with applicable information. You cannot talk to anyone in HR and must electronically correspond with people who provide non-answers or do not respond at all. -Full-time means significantly more than 40 hours a week is required while the company preaches the balance of work and life. -Poorly organized and executed projects and initiatives -Company culture of blame -High turnover rate of productive employees -Employees are continually over-burdened by their workload -Poor training at the onset of employment and almost none afterwards -No this company does not seek to better healthcare and well-being; they lose money and accounts and try to make up for the lost revenue by tightening utilization.

Pros

Experience in the medical insurance industry is the ONLY pro if already do not have that.

Cons

Very, very, unethical and unprofessional management which leads to the corruption of professionalism on the floor with lower level staff. The company's structure is extremely disorganized and higher level management does not take into consideration the magnanimous negative response of providers and enrolled members to fix huge issues which make this plan a horrible plan...especially for people who have extremely difficult illnesses and providers who have not been getting paid and in turn are neglecting to see members. Advancement is only based on office politics. People who have the qualifications and work hard for a position will not move up. Be ready to be placed in a piranha tank if you interview for anything higher than your current position. You will be torn apart and it will make you not want to ever apply for anything else. Also, this company hires outside people first when it makes more sense to promote someone who already knows what is going on there. Pay does not compensate for the many different jobs that you will do which are not a part of your department and you do not have qualified certifications to perform. Management keeps adding on responsibilities and does not want to give raises. Training does not exceed a certain level of knowledge for all of the things that you will need to know. Most of anything that requires advanced knowledge you will have to somehow learn on your own. And learning on your own does not mean that the company has training modules on this level of subject matter. It means you will have to dig for information in the company's internal files or learn more about it in your own spare time at home by Googling and reading. Management does not want to hear about what you think even though they say that they do. If you come to them with a problem, they want you to tell them how to fix it. You tell them how to fix it and nothing gets done because it will not go higher than the Customer Service Department director.
