Pros

My co-workers are the best and easy to get along with. I did move up in the company and there is room for advancement. My team is like my family, we would do anything for each other. Most of the supervisors in the PVS dept are really good caring people.

Cons

The Director has hired some inexperienced people and unqualified people as supervisors. Management of the PVS dept is on a power trip and believes the reps that are on the frontline taking calls are beneth them. Management has been known to say that the reps on the phone do not have the same mind set as them. The Director has also said she doesn't care about anything except for upper management getting his or her bonuses. Supervisors- the newest training supervisor is the most inexperienced and unqualified ones. He only cares about making himself look good at the expense of his team. He is always worried about what everybody else is doing instead of focusing on what he should be doing. Projects are put off or assigned at the last minute to others, then he takes credit. Many people have complained about this supervisor and still nothing has been done. Systems- The systems at ASH are from 1975 and need to be updated. The company needs a dept who watches the queques and runs reports, instead of putting it off on the supervisors who already have some many responsibilites. Pay- ASH pays their reps and supervisors alot less than other call centers and expects so much more work. Benefits-The benefit fees continue to go up every year and the increase is put on the employee. Inconsistencies- Nobody is on the same page on anything, there are way too many inconsistencies, and this is not important to management because it gets worse everyday. The inconsistencies are a disservice to the reps taking the calls, providers offices, and members calling in. There is a reason employees are jumping ship, they are looking for better management, respect, and an environment that does not feel like a high school popularity contest.

Pros

Work From Home and Make Up Time

Cons

Favoritism, unproductive environment. The department I worked in had a QA who belittled people in the position they just got hired from. I mean said some really hateful things. One of the worst mistakes I made was wanting to learn more and applying for a position. The role paid $15 per hour and I lost every single merit increase I’d ever earned. I liked learning this new role but put myself into debt financially at home for it and now I’m no longer here because somewhere else offered me better money for the same job. There needs to be more improvement on the micromanaging, the culture, the PAY (I don’t care what the company’s research says, the job postings by similar companies say something different). This could be an awesome place to work but the pay and some of the people need to be reviewed. It was like a mean girl club where I was and it’s unproductive and not inclusive to people who are new making a few mistakes and still learning. A good portion of the supervisors are checked out and have no idea how to help you. They just show up because they get paid to be there for maybe 4-5 hours per day. This place needs to come together and needs to actually read the bad reviews and believe them and just focus on improving. Things can get better, the first step is acknowledgement that it’s not perfect.
