Pros

The people that you work with, some are very helpful and I enjoyed working with them.

Cons

All the cons in the world, supervisors are terrible and play favorite and have no real experience in a supervisory other than being at the company for longer than others. Micromanage you to death, monitor your every move so you stay in queue as long as possible. Offer no real help for ca’s and the lack of training is terrible as they teach you once and expect for you to excel without proper guidance. Supervisors are never at their desk, they’re either in a “meeting” or making Starbucks runs. Do not work here if you are not ready for unrealistic deadlines and personable supervisors all around the same age that do not know what they’re doing. Worst company I have ever worked for. This job is supposed to be about the member and empathy but quality control will run your scores into the ground and keep you from attaining bonuses because of instances they do not like. There is no consistency within the job as far as management, supervisors and case work. Every one has different ways of doing the job so you never get cut and dry answers. The break time is atrocious and they have no respect for employees with real life issues and expect you to be a robot. They will not let you work from home unless you are “sick” but will hound you to prove that something is wrong with you and once they find out you’re sick they will not let you work from home.

Hi - Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I am sorry to hear you feel you were not properly trained for your role with our team, All of our Care Advocates go through extensive training for nearly 6 weeks. Throughout that training, new hires have the opportunity to complete multiple exams to ensure they understand all of the various components of the role. Care Advocates are required to pass a final exam before speaking with members. Over the last year that team has almost tripled in size! Fortunately, this has created promotional opportunities within that team- allowing us to promote several people from Care Advocate to supervisor. This has been a great training opportunity for people who are ready to take on leadership roles within our company. As newer leaders within our company, we intend to provide more support and focus on enhancing those skills so they can successfully guide and lead the team. It is true as we have scaled we have evolved our processes and we have faced consistency challenges. To solve that we have brought in a knowledge management team and are excited to soon launch more accessible on demand resources to better equip our CAs! It is also true that this team works onsite. This ensures we can maintain high quality standards for our clients and members, and allow for real time support when needed- as every case is different. When employees are sick, we do not encourage them to work from home, instead we prefer they take paid time off so they have ample time to rest and recover. We appreciate all of the feedback, and will be sure to take the information back to our team so we can ensure these things are top of mind as we continue to grow our team.

Pros

• The mission is genuinely compelling and the product has potential to help members • Many talented, experienced people who care about quality and outcomes • Opportunities to move fast and learn quickly • Significant room to improve the brand and member experience if the organization commits to it

Cons

• Executive leadership sets the tone, and the culture reflects it. • Expectations are often high, but priorities and direction change frequently, creating unnecessary stress and rework. • Limited trust in the experts being hired. • Strategic thinking is not valued in practice. Leadership seems to want more hands to execute, not partners who can shape direction. • Brand is inconsistent and fragmented. Brand audits and leadership interviews were conducted, but the insights don’t translate into a clear, differentiated, member-first brand system. • The member experience feels disconnected across touchpoints. The mobile app, web portal, and website don’t align in messaging, voice, or visual design, which weakens trust and cohesion. • The organization operates reactively. Work is often driven by the latest urgent request rather than a strategic plan, making it hard to build sustained momentum.
