Pros

Benefits are good. Health Benefits (with the exception of a National Benefits provider), HSA contributions, and 401k matches are solid. PTO accrual is poor. The people you work with on a day to day are some of the smartest, kindest, caring people out there. Lots of room to grow. The work itself is interesting and diverse.

Cons

To be honest I am worried for my job to post this but I don't really know how else to share how I am feeling. This used to be one of the best companies to work for and my rating would be a 4 or 5. Great leadership in the CEO and Founder. It wasn't without challenges but they all felt manageable and I felt trusted. A lot of people will say the decline happened with the acquisition of WageWorks but it really started when Ted Bloomberg joined as COO. He is controlling that everyone feels like that have run everything by him. He says horrible and degrading things about people who aren't in the room. He doesn't care about the people or the culture just that he looks good. There is no accountability to his actions or how he treats others. Additionally, he has run out many people who are smart, driven and actually care about the experience of Clients and Members simply because they disagreed. That is one the core values of the company. The company talks about "Purple" and the values a lot. I'm not sure if I could find one person beyond Ted and his cronies that would say Ted is a "Purple" human.

Pros

From the very beginning, the experience felt welcoming, thoughtful, and well organized. The recruitment process was smooth and informative, and every interview felt like a genuine opportunity to have real conversations and build meaningful connections. The team was incredibly supportive throughout both hiring and onboarding, which made the transition feel seamless. A great example of the company’s culture is Trailhead, an experience designed to bring new hires together early on and help them connect, learn, and feel part of the organization right away. It’s clear there is a lot of intention behind how employees are supported, especially when it comes to building connection from day one.

Cons

Still early in my time here, but no major cons to note so far.
