Pros

Decent salary for after college. Low stress - low reward kind of a deal.

Cons

This is an HR job. 40-60% of the time you are on the phone. Once you have built your spreadsheet your excel advancement is none. Really annoying environment. Seems like the blame always goes down to the Specialists. Poor training overall. Absolutely 0 opportunity for advancement. Takes 5 years to go from Specialist I to Team Leader. Poor benefits, expensive insurance. Glassdoor salary estimation is ON POINT. Use it to get on your feet after college and run

Good support and good people

Cons

Large company does mean that Tech/HR support usually involves an 800 number and call center.

Pros

Great role to transition into the insurance industry. Many resources and opportunities to expand technical knowledge. Client visits are great if you like to travel. Lucky to have a manager who doesn’t micromanage. If you’re organized, driven, and good at communicating you’ll do great.

Cons

Can be stressful at times around busy renewal cycles. Travel often depending on industry and clients.
