Pros

Flexible with alternate work arrangements such as telecommuting. Willing to invest in needed training where applicable to job responsibilities.

Cons

Middle management overly political in the way decisions are based in terms of job promotions. Need to better 'walk the walk' in terms of pay for performance. True risk takers and those going the extra mile in speaking out when something is not working as it should are more often shunned than rewarded while others who coast through their jobs aren't pushed enough to contribute. In sum, the people who are not the 'check your brains at the door' contributors who readily accept the more complex, difficult work, often end up getting piled on while others float in the background.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
