Pros

Honestly, it’s hard to fill up the 20 word minimum: -Flexibility to work from home (double-edged sword) -Average pay and benefits -Genuinely nice co-workers

Cons

-Severely outdated technology and hardware that leads to overwhelming inefficiencies and frustration. -Lack of an internal database or filing system for documents, making it impossible to find resources anywhere. We still use a system from 10+ years ago... -Poor company culture focused on overwork... nobody takes breaks or goes to lunch, it’s almost frowned upon to take a moment to breathe. No team building, no activities - just work. -Staffing is spread thin and as a result work is often behind schedule, despite overtime hours. -Training and learning is derailed due to lack of man hours to provide instruction. Lackluster training program need improvement. -Few in-person interactions... everyone works from home or joins conference calls (even if they are all in the same building!); this is both isolating and inefficient in terms of communication and learning. Most managers are in a different time zone or work virtually. -Overwhelming focus on the client contact and not the actual user. I often feel we treat a lot of our participants poorly and no one really cares. -Lack of upward mobility; the company is full of lifers and you cannot get a promotion from your entry level job unless your manager retires. -Very little meaningful or challenging work on a day to day basis. Most of the time is spent babysitting off-shore colleagues and making sure they are actually doing their work.

Pros

Remote work with base pay. Some PTO. Telesales with scripts and all inbound pre-made appointments.

Cons

First of all, I thankfully came from another Medicare agency where I learned the backbone of Medicare education because Alight did not educate the employees on the essentials of Medicare; so I'm glad I already had that foundation otherwise I would have spiraled right on out of that position right at the beginning. I never got paid the commission I was promised. The first phone interview stated that I would receive all commission as one lump sum by the end of March. So after working AEP (OCT through DEC) I was waiting patiently for the commission from nearly 200 enrollments I completed. In Jan, I received 50% of my expected commission and never saw the remainder 50% come through. I reached out to multiple people including my direct management with no response. This position was temporary for potential permanency, I was asked to stay on without clarity and it basically turned into customer service support (and occasional enrollments.) The customer service was extremely heavy from all of the agents who did not do a great job - a lot of unhappy customers were calling in at the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026. The amount of commission per enrollment was never given to me in writing, so I had to learn a lesson the hard way. I left in February.
