Pros

One Digital tries to retain employees with incentives like "summer hours", many paid holidays, and occasional events. 12 weeks of paid maternity leave (if you've been there for a year) is nice and sadly, most unheard of in today's world.

Cons

What really matters is adequate pay. You have to fight for a raise, even if you are already doing copious amounts of extra work. The yearly "merit raise" is just a 3% cost of living raise that doesn't keep up with inflation. Work-life balance is pushed, but so are overtime hours and deadlines. The company needs to actually practice what they preach. If you leave the company, they will not pay out your earned PTO. (again, they are greedy and refuse to pay employees). People are pushed to burn out and leave One Digital between 2-3 years. I saw a high rate of turn over in the support staff roles - renewal specialists, account managers, consultants.

Pros

Strong company culture focused on taking care of employees and clients. Excellent place to work, as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort.

Cons

Not necessarily a con. Still a relatively young, and growing firm that is building out structure.

Pros

The office is in a convenient location inside the Sears Tower and is well maintained. The sales floor is genuinely diverse, with people of different ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. You'll find everyone from recent college graduates to career changers and seasoned professionals. The atmosphere can be energetic and even fun at times, with music playing and plenty of conversation around the office.

Cons

Micromanagement was a huge issue during my time here. The reviews mentioning timed bathroom breaks and strict expectations around phone availability were consistent with my experience. It often felt like every minute of the day was being monitored. Most of the people I spoke with weren't just seniors—they were some of the most vulnerable people I've ever worked with, including individuals dealing with dementia, mental illness, physical disabilities, or serious financial hardship. Even in those conversations, there was constant pressure to push forward with the sales process instead of taking the extra time those situations sometimes deserved. I also found that speaking up or questioning decisions wasn't encouraged. If you weren't willing to go along with management without much pushback, it could affect how you were treated. In my experience, some interactions with sales and program managers felt unprofessional and, at times, verbally aggressive. If you're genuinely interested in getting into the Medicare industry, you can definitely gain experience here, but I'd treat it as a stepping stone rather than somewhere to build a long-term career. There are better brokerages out there, and if staying in the industry is your goal, I'd recommend exploring those instead.
