Pros

Nice campus, cafeteria, friendly co workers, gainshare, easy to take time off if you need to, fun events are planned for everyone to enjoy

Cons

Most days were BACK to BACK calls for your entire shift. I understand it's a call center, but after a while that "ding" noise of a new call coming in can drive you nuts. Wish they would offer a couple hours off of the phone to help process paperwork, or something in another dept. to break up the monotony. Way too many metrics to worry about. On one call, there are twenty different things they want you to offer the customer (other progressive services or policy preferences.) Meanwhile you have a customer screaming at you for something the "previous rep" told them. Things are monitored like; time you use after a call, hold time, too much silent time on the phone, break time. Felt waaay too big brother for me.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
