Pros

PTO used to be great (before it became heavily restricted). a remote job The job itself is straightforward if you're okay with constant micromanagement.

Cons

1. Extreme Micromanagement: Leadership constantly monitors every move, making the work environment stressful and suffocating. 2. Zero Diversity in Leadership: There is little to no representation among managers or team leads, which affects inclusivity and decision-making. 3. Forced Workload Expansion: You're frequently forced to take on more accounts without a say or additional pay, even when juggling multiple assignments. 4. Chaotic Scheduling Staffing Issues: Due to constant call-outs and under-staffing, employees are randomly switched between accounts daily, making it impossible to settle into a consistent workflow. 5. PTO Is Now Over-Policed: Vacation requests must be submitted months in advance, or they will likely be denied. Previously, requests could be approved within weeks, but now, last-minute needs (even emergencies) require documentation to justify. 6. Poor Communication; Constant Changes: Policies, procedures, and expectations change regularly, but management does a terrible job of informing employees. This results in confusion and embarrassment when trying to assist customers. 7. No True Work-Life Balance: The rigid scheduling makes flexibility impossible. 8. Holidays Cut: Previously, we had MLK Day and Presidents' Day off, but those were taken away and replaced with "floating holidays"—which aren’t truly flexible because employees scramble to claim days off, and management strategically blocks high-demand days (Fridays and Mondays) to prevent staffing gaps. **Also, they are constantly promoting overtime to compensate for staffing issues every day they promote overtime what job you need to make an announcement every day to sway folks to do overtime think about it, I truly hate it here and the customers constantly being rude makes it worst

Pros

Work from home and one a cent increase towards the end of the year not a dollar but cents

Cons

It has become about hitting sales than actually fixing the internal issues within the company no it’s not a sales job but they actually give you a number that you must uphold and make everytime your on call so everytime a patient say no to supplies it’s like they want you to forcefully harass them on call and state the reason on why they should order never mind that folks in this economy on living to paycheck, can’t afford their insurance payment, or are out of job still don’t matter you have to make sure to let them know why it’s important to order plus with them not being able to keep people they have their offer overtime everyday while policing PTO it’s ridiculous handbook say you have two weeks in advance but since they can’t retain enough people now it’s gotten to the point t you must request PTO a month sometimes even three months you’ll either get denied or approve for partial which in your place on a waitlist it’s crazy sometimes I need mental days off cause this job does take you there especially with the rude callers and dumbfounding management also there’s no room to advance only way is to be a team leader and that’s the only way to get advanced other than that if you don’t wanna be a team leader, you’re stuck being in the same role that you were when you first got hired which sucks
