Pros

The exit and the people

Cons

In 4 short years, this company went from being one of the greatest places to work to Hell on Earth. Imagine the worst call center environment you can, then multiply that by infinity and you get a fraction of how horrible the culture is. Employees are miserable, getting time off is next to impossible and people are quitting in droves. When I decided to leave, I realized I was being grossly underpaid for the amount of work I was being forced to do. You can easily expect to "own" 250-300 claims. It is impossible to provide the type of customer service they want with this amount of claims in your inventory. The reason the inventory is so high is because they can't keep employees....because they suck. If you have the opportunity to work here.. don't. Unless they fire Michael Tipsord as CEO. And if they do that, wait at least a year to see if opinions change.

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
