Pros
can't think of a single one. quit and find something else
Cons
Hired as a processor in customer service at the St. Louis location. worst decision of my life. initial job interview and info given about the job is very deceptive. Management is aware this job is terrible...very high turnover, low morale, and unprofessional work environment. every department is behind and you will deal with rude, angry customers most of the time. insurance department rarely makes payments on time, not sure how this is even legal... facility is also in a very seedy neighborhood. quit and never looked back...
