Pros

Overall, I'd say OneDigital itself isn't a horrible place to work. However, your experience there will very much depend on the management team and micro-culture of the group you work within (meaning, the area of the country as well as the "vertical" you worked in, such as retirement, benefits, HR, or sales). "Unlimited" PTO for salaried exempt employees is nice, but depending on your team you might not really be able to take time off.

Cons

OneDigital has grown rapidly through M&A in the last few years, so the company operates in a very fragmented manner. Speaking for the team I was on, there was a LOT of micromanagement and insecure leadership. Additionally, there were a number of really high-performing employees who were there one minute, gone the next, which doesn't instill confidence. From my perspective, your success (or lack thereof) was almost entirely dependent on how willing you were to suck up to the management team in your area. I would say you REALLY have to be willing to "drink the Kool-Aid" if you want to do well there. It's interesting to notice the trend in the last few years with regard to OneDigital reviews. When I joined, the reviews were overall very positive, and the CEO had an approval rating of about 4.8%. Now, the CEO's rating is 71% and only 52% of employees would recommend OneDigital as a good place to work? Seems like the company is on a downward trajectory. I even had a former client tell me they'd be shocked if the company was still in business a year from now (though I suspect they were just talking about my team, not OneDigital as a whole). While I would love to be able to applaud the culture and values of the company (which are very good on paper), the simple truth is that my team really didn't follow those values. While I was enthusiastic when I first joined the company, I quickly lost hope that management would take any action based on the feedback they received. One of my biggest frustrations was the lack of feedback from management on how to be successful; there were poorly defined metrics and no real formal performance reviews, so it left team members floundering.

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.
