Pros

I thought the PTO policy was very generous! Not sure if its still the same, but we got 20 days of PTO from day 60 and +1 day every year we continued to work there, plus occasionally floating holidays.

Cons

The work that you do is quite depressing. I had to leave after 3 years because I was miserable. Calling depressed people the week of Christmas (or any other holiday) and telling them "they're paperwork didn't substantiate that they were depressed enough to be considered disabled..." was a daily conversation but add the holidays and people would almost respond identically with "should I just kill myself." it was a lot to carry around on my conscious everyday, there's no support from upper management as well which is ultimately why I left. There was also no overtime, so if you didn't finish your workload due to excessive calls that day or maybe just an excessive amount of tasks for the day (called diary's internally) then you'd have to leave it at that but would get in trouble. Theres supposed to be regulations for how many claims an examiner has in their name at a given time and it is never followed -- I worked on three accounts and always had 50-100+ claims more than most of my colleagues.

Pros

The benefits are okay I suppose but they'll deduct your PTO from your severance pay. It's basically a ripoff loan.

Cons

-Constant harassment and hounding from Team Leads. -Unrealistic expectations for case load productivity. Mind you, the maximum expected amount of diaries to be completed is 80+. You're expected to make and take calls while also juggling case notes, emails,and Teams messages that pull you away from your current task. And the workload is moved constantly, regardless of an employee is absent,tardy, or even still present despite being heavy across the board. But you're expected to finish it all "productively" within 8 hours. No overtime and minimal assistance. -Good audit scores don't matter. You could have 98% to 100% , leadership will burn you for missing a few notes or if you're behind on other people's work while also being behind on yours. They say they're understaffed but they refuse to hire more people unless it's your replacement. -You're practically working on a sinking ship.
