Pros
- Gainshare bonus at end of year - Relaxed dress - Ability to leave desk as needed - New office environment - Coworkers are awesome - Growing company/job security - A lot of room to advance across country - Good benefits and pay isn't bad - Laptop provided, and can take home - Salaried instead of hourly - Some leniency with working from home
Kontras
- Large workload - Metrics suck, and if you don't meet a metric, or are on the low end, even though you may excel at everything else, have more experience than other coworkers, you are still made to feel inferior and are unappreciated - If you use benefit leave for an illness, expect to have a red mark on your record, even though legally they can't do that - Typical office politics where management has their favorites - Tend to hire those straight out of college, like I mean taking in interns and hiring, or passing up skilled and experienced claims reps for the wet behind the ears, early 20-somethings - Don't take into account what you do for others to drive their metrics. Perhaps if they did take that into account and averaged it with your metrics, yours might be better - Need more leniency with taking days off when sick and unscheduled - Having to monitor the administration window of nobody is immediately available, therefore interrupting your train of thought regarding your claims - Having to take inbound loop calls while also working your own claims
