Pros

Internet/Cell Phone stipend, student loan stipend, VTO during slow time of the year, ongoing training from SMU, ability to sell multiple plans and products. Base pay increase after 9 months/graduating from being a newhire Newhire time there was the best - supervisors actually cared and supported the team

Cons

After getting out of new hire land, tenured supervisors are horrible. I have not met one that seems happy to be there, they all have conflicting answers or sometimes don't even respond, and each has their own ability to determine how many calls you take in a day - there is no consistency across teams. AEP retention bonus is only paid out if you are there until May and they lay off so many people that they miss out on making alot of extra money OR you are stuck there until then so you dont lose out. Also mass amounts of layoffs after AEP (likely why they are changing this to hiring only seasonal this year) Outside of AEP they rely on outbound/book of business calls to drive sales - pro and con to this but being it is a call center, I would think inbound should be majority not the other way around. Be prepared to hustle and dial all day just to make commission. Quite a few carriers have pulled out from ehealth selling. Lastly, the big one most people complain about - Trash Leads. Transfers from third parties that make people think they can get a food card when its much more than that to qualify. They also do not follow state laws for telemarketing - supervisors instruct agents to call as many times to reach someone, even though there are laws you cannot call more than 2-3 times a day and between certain hours but they dont seem to even be aware of this.

Pros

Excellent Leadership and Team: My manager was incredibly supportive, motivating, and patient. He took the time to coach me even when I struggled with my numbers. Great Work Culture: The internal team environment was fun, collaborative, and highly engaging. Strong Incentives: The company offers a great points-based reward system that allows you to earn cool items based on performance. Positive Separation: Management gave me every opportunity to succeed, and I was able to leave on excellent terms with the team. Also the traing was fun and they invest in you and really give people a chance to make it

Cons

Cons Challenging Customer Base: Dealing with a specific client demographics (including high-stress compliance calls) Highly Difficult Customer Base: Dealing with ( VERY SPECIFIC) class of customer demographic was incredibly challenging. Callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and abusive, which took a major toll on morale. The callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and ungrateful. Rigid Compliance Metrics: The quality assurance guidelines are overly strict. If a rushed customer makes you miss a single word during a disclosure, you are marked down or forced to restart the script from the beginning, And its pages of word for word questions creating immense emotional stress if you miss a single word like "and or will or may"it makes it harder when someones telling you hurry common and hufing and puffing really inapropriate and having to start over ask the same questions making the customer more impatient and intense pressure on you as angent...after this experience im so grateful when i talk to a nice stranger no matter where it is over the phone or in person bc these customer really did a number on my emotions for months i know not everyone can be so entitled in this world so i left not bc the company but becaus the customers and ive worked in high stressful envirmonets but never delt with this specific group of people. .Lead Quality: Many of the leads felt like random cold calls rather than qualified prospects, making it much harder to hit sales targets.

Pros

eHealth RevOps offers a fast-paced environment with strong exposure to healthcare operations, commissions, and cross-functional collaboration. The work is meaningful and provides opportunities to build analytical, problem-solving, and process improvement skills. Teams are generally supportive, and there are opportunities to learn from peers with deep industry knowledge. The role provides hands-on experience with complex data, audits, and reconciliation processes, which is valuable for strengthening both operational and financial skill sets.

Cons

Leadership is a significant challenge. The Senior Director’s approach tends to be highly hands-on, which can limit autonomy and make it difficult for employees to feel fully trusted or supported in their roles. The environment can feel high-pressure rather than growth-oriented. At the Senior Manager level, there are concerns around consistency, professionalism, and fairness. Communication style can come across as overly direct or discouraging at times, and there are perceptions of favoritism that impact team morale and overall engagement. There are also gaps in leadership presence and support. 1:1 meetings are frequently canceled, and team members often need to rely on other leaders for guidance. While tracking and reporting are maintained, there is limited hands-on support, coaching, and clear direction for the team. Training is another challenge. Onboarding often relies on current employees who are expected to maintain their full workload, creating a high-pressure environment with little room for error. This makes it difficult for new hires to ramp up effectively and confidently. Overall, these factors can make it challenging for employees to feel supported, develop professionally, and operate with clarity and confidence.
