Pros

You will gain transferable skill to apply to a company that values your work ethic

Cons

This company treats you like a machine/property. All they care about is money and do not care how unhappy their employees are. The Managers are awful, especially the new hire manager and the mentor team. You've been warned they will cut you after they have used every ounce of work ethic you've ever had. The training process is terrible, and they do not provide the proper support to do your job. The company as a whole may be reputable but the manager they have over the new hire team is ruthless. The manager told me in a meeting once that "d's get degree." That's exactly how poorly you will be trained and if you are not a self motivated learner you will not succeed at this job. There are some good mentors but mostly they are just looking out for their own paychecks. The people in managerial roles do not care about the employees. This is not a career to pursue if you are looking for job security.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
