Pros

NARS provides a good workplace. The systems are good and work well. The pay is fair and The CEO is an excellent man who does care about his company.

Cons

Bad senior management Vice Presidents are power hungry and do not know how to treat employees. They lose more employees because of their actions. Some individuals allowed clients who are in runoff (leaving) do just that to their employees. NARS lost to many accounts not due to staff but because they allowed them to run the show. Business decisions should be made on what’s best for our clients, employees and claimants. Stand up and do what is best for the company not one man’s ego.

Pros

401k, remote, salaried payroll, benefits

Cons

Unstable. 2 layoffs within a year. Pay raises are a joke. This TPA loses contracts as well after they expire. Don't look to retire here.

Pros

It was good until it wasn’t. When I first started, the pay and the low claim load were the only things that made this job feel worth it. I will give them credit for that part. The workload is manageable, the pay is decent, and the work-life balance is honestly the best thing about working here. You can log off on time and not get harassed or guilt-tripped for it. Remote work is also a plus and I appreciated having that flexibility.

Cons

The rest of the experience is where it goes downhill. The micromanagement is honestly ridiculous. Someone is always checking on what you’re doing like they do not trust you to do your job. It becomes routine to be asked what you are working on every 15 to 20 minutes, and it does not feel like accountability. It feels like someone watching you, waiting for something to go wrong. On top of that, I have been reminded to do tasks that are literally part of the job description. Emails. Payments. Documentation. Routine claim tasks. It feels condescending and unnecessary when I already know what I am supposed to be doing. The inconsistency across management is another major issue. Policies feel optional depending on who your manager is. SharePoint will say one thing, but a manager will decide their personal “best practice” is the rule, even when it contradicts the actual guidelines. There is no standard. What is “correct” changes based on who you ask. It does not feel like leadership is united or clear on expectations. It feels like personal preference is running the show, and that creates confusion and frustration for no reason. It also creates work that feels like busy work, not actual productivity. It looks good on paper but does not improve anything. I am not recommending this place, and I say that genuinely. If you are someone who values your peace, if you are independent, or if you prefer to be trusted to do the job you were hired for, this is probably not where you will find that. They told me in the interview, “We don’t micromanage, we just hold people accountable.” Looking back, that was the moment I should have listened to my instincts because that was not my reality here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we appreciate your acknowledgment of the competitive pay, manageable workload, remote flexibility, and work-life balance, we would like to clarify several statements that do not accurately reflect our practices. We do not micromanage. Regular check-ins and oversight are part of a structured accountability framework common in claims environments and are intended to support compliance, file quality, and consistency—not to signal mistrust. These expectations are communicated clearly and applied consistently across the team. Similarly, reminders regarding core claim functions such as documentation, payments, and correspondence are standard quality controls in a regulated industry. They are not meant to be condescending, but to ensure files meet internal and external standards. Regarding policy consistency, procedures are centrally maintained and communicated through formal resources. While managers may differ in coaching style, expectations and standards are not optional and do not change based on personal preference. We are transparent during the interview process about accountability, performance expectations, and oversight. While we understand that this structure may not be the right fit for everyone, we believe it is important to clarify these points for prospective candidates reviewing this feedback. We wish you success in your future endeavors.
