Pros

- Professional work environment with good teammates. People are willing to help and learning is encouraged. - Department managers have their restrictions and any change needs to be approved by top management which is why we were always putting out fire than taking precautions in advance. -Good benefits -OK vacation and sick time

Cons

-Limited growth due to the size of business. Starting pay is OK but then that's it. -Depending on your department, will be your workload. I worked at Lake Mary head office and we are always short staffed. They are constantly hiring people but more keep leaving. -Wise not be here for long as all your work buddies that you started with will leave after a year. -Constant technical issue. ALL THE TIME!. You are expected to be in code red everyday which can take toll in your personal health. -NO ONE knows where we are heading. Let's throw things in the wall and see what sticks. You will start looking for exit after 1 year for sure. -You are never certain about your requested time off even if you submitted it weeks ahead but scheduling will work with you but their hands are tied too. - lot of our members aren't the best example of mankind. You will deal with people who is trying to attempt fraud and/or trying to play the system.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Our Contact Center team members work incredibly hard to provide exceptional service, especially over the last year with consistently high call volumes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and we appreciate you being part of that team. We would like to address a few of your comments for the benefit of others reading this. Regarding growth, we are incredibly proud to share that over 50% of our positions are filled internally through transfers and promotions. While the pandemic has certainly kept us busy with an increased call volume, our turnover hasn't changed much - in fact, our average employee tenure is over 8 years with many 15, 20, 25, and 30 year team members. We're sorry to hear your experience wasn't entirely positive, but appreciate your feedback and wish you well in your next role!

Pros

- Supportive coworkers who made the work environment more enjoyable. - Opportunities for continuous education and professional development.

Cons

- Compensation did not align with workload, with minimal raises and limited financial recognition for tenure. - Executive leadership often appeared disconnected from frontline operations. Interactions with staff were frequently perceived as dismissive or condescending. (Shirley Shoemaker & Kevin Dougherty) - Policies were enforced inconsistently, sometimes undermining employees in front of members. - PTO was restricted during holidays for most staff, while leadership had greater flexibility. - Employee feedback was not always received openly, with some actions creating a perception of retaliation. Often by “promoting” individuals to branches on the opposite side of town. - Pressure to meet sales goals conflicted with the company’s “members first” messaging. - Employees were strongly encouraged to participate in “best of” voting, raising concerns about authenticity. - Safety concerns were not always handled with urgency. In one instance, after being threatened by a customer and contacting the risk team, the response was minimal, which left me feeling unsupported.
