Pros

Honestly not a lot. The few good people in there are some of the best I've ever worked with and made working bearable.

Cons

Well known toxicity from a few individuals, but nothing is done as people fear of retaliation if they report it. (Passive aggression from the known ego, rather than from management) Misogyny is an issue as I know of female colleagues crying after certain calls and unwanted attention from a few. One joked it was a perk of working from home, so no one sees. No work culture with two drink vouchers and finger food for Christmas parties to be as much as you can expect. All the great people I worked with left and no replacements in sight adding to everyone elses workload. Salary is well below the market rate with other companies in the area. Everything above just makes you not enjoy working there. Everyday you'll become more unhappy and hope the next reorganization (they happened too often) will change, but it doesn't.

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.
