Pros

Great PTO and work/life balance

Cons

It’s all about your cronies. In order to move up or be recognized you have to be in the right crowd. Inclusion is talked about a lot but the company has a lot of work to do here. The recent merger with Esurance was handled horrifically — making all of us feel under appreciated to say the very least. The company moves at a snails pace and you really can’t get anything done because every single thing has to go through so many reviews and approvals. Management talks about transparency .. Sr. leadership tries at this .. but middle management hoards information. It almost seems like there is a worry that they don’t want to be seen as better than or equal too and the best way to do that is keep certain things under wraps. If you like working at a faster pace, where you see the fruits of your labor this is not the place for you. If you like SLOW ridiculously over engineered environments where everyone and everything needs to be reviewed and where you get flooded with company emails but have great vacation time this is a perfect place for you.

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
