Pros

The company’s original cause, which is to improve healthcare access by taking good care of underserved patients, is inspiring.

Cons

Mismanagement, lack of loyalty or concern for employees or clients. The company has lost its connection to its mission. They’re not taking care of patients, clients, employees, or investors; and rather than taking accountability for any of it, members of top management just blame their employees.

We are sorry you feel this way. Our company did face some industry challenges late in 2020 in addition to COVID that forced us to change the way we do business. We have been working to put those changes in place over the last couple of years and we feel that we are in a position where we can chart our path forward. As a company we have always been working towards providing the best quality care for our patients and service to our clients.

Pros

Awesome coworkers who are always supportive, generous PTO, work remotely, good bonus and pay structure.

Cons

First thing you need to know about the sales dept is that it is 100% cold calling. They tell you the leads are warm, but they aren’t. They have no idea who you are or who the company is. If cold calling isn’t for you, then think about looking somewhere else. Second, the new management doesn’t understand what “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” means. He wants to leave his legacy behind him in this company on how he made improvements to something that was working well and efficiently to begin with. Changing things that don’t need to be changed. He doesn’t understand our culture or process, he just wants to see an increase in the output of all departments. Overall, there's been a significant declined over the last year and it's not looking like it will improve.

We appreciate your feedback. We do recognize that our inside sales position is a challenging job at any company. We sere patients who lead challenging lives. Not everyone is open to change when it comes to how their medication is delivered and while yes we do recognize that at times our calls can feel like cold calls they are truly warm since we call on behalf of a location where they are already a patient. I understand that at first change can be difficult but changes in our processes are necessary in order to see improvement for our patients and even in your sales commissions. It seems you are a current employee please feel free to reach out directly and we can review those concerns together.

Pros

You meet the occasional good person and make a friend, PTO

Cons

Multiple layoffs since 2020 and those that don’t get laid off end up resigning. People that wanted to bring beneficial change to the company either left or were let go. Processes change every week because they’re just trying to find something that works in the moment. You’re constantly fighting fire after fire. The data quality is crap so patients get inconsistent or delayed information and you don’t have all the info you need. People are in management positions with no relevant experience, blind leading the blind. Leadership plays favoritism. Patients are considered based on their value so gone are the days of “we take care of the patient”. This used to be a company where you could be proud of the work. Now it’s hard to be proud of work that leaves patients without medication and employees feeling miserable.

Pros

The patients are wonderful patient and caring. The individual contributors do care about things. Used to be a great place to work.

Cons

PTO policy is deceitful. Though it claims to have a generous PTO policy the ops department went from 2 people per 20 workers are allowed off to now 1 per 20 are allowed on a single day. This includes 3 independent teams that do not overlap calls), was told at one point that a child injury or sickness was considered unpaid leave because it wasn’t planned by management. While management (3 total on the ops side) can take time off whenever they want. Professionalism and favoritism: huge issue in this company. This company basically agrees with management even if it results in a hostile working environment for their workers. That it’s your “perception” of the situation. Management will quite literally gang up on people. They will hire people highly unsuited for jobs based on who they like. Professionalism is out the door expect your personal life to be on the table, being spoken about behind your back, and also just general behavior from management that Mimics high school like behavior. Racist behavior: Chinese lottery, eye rolling toward bipoc and other minority reps for the same questions that white reps ask, and overall just racist behaviors that are consistent. All ops management except for 1 member are white. Disregard for patients needs: requests for patient education for LGBTQIA+ and also those diagnosed needs outlined with the dsm-5 adults/kids was ignored multiple times even though this company handles both mental health high level of population within both minority groups. Was told that pronouns aren’t important for patients and educating ourselves on the topic don’t important. No expediting scripts: if the patient is not worth enough then the pharmacies cannot expedite drugs even if it’s the companies fault the patient is unable to get the rx. Data issues: constant fight to get clarity to see what the pharmacies have since the company is a third party results in SEVERE delays that are dangerous for the patients. Told to just “deal with it” due to internal processes that stop patient advocates to transfer patients directly to the pharmacy. Patients not called: patients not worth a minimum are often not called due to a Lack of focus on those lists, and also due to the system of calls only being done once a month to lower value patients. Resulting in patients not getting meds. Management double standard: management can’t take time off whenever they want, they can leave early, can take their kids to the park, or make dinner randomly on the middle of the day but, workers are lectured for making coffee, taking too much time to document calls, asking for time off, told to flex every moment of we have an emergency. Bullying behavior: during 1:1 and reviews instead of showing good and bad often instead what occurs is you are only told what you’re done wrong. Management clearly on the ops side things this motivates you to do better instead of highlighting what you’ve done right or wrong. Ceo & and cfo: have no idea what’s going on. They are so far from the day to day that all of this behavior goes unchecked due to them removing themselves so much. They allow directors, managers and superiors with zero to minimal pharmacy experience to “run” this pharmacy company into the ground. A company that continues to not hit budget numbers and missing the make more and more each month. Reviews (money related): severe delays in timelines for reviews resulting in how many get bonuses being delayed

Pros

The flexible pto policy would be a pro if management did not make you feel guilty when you use pto, and then punish you when you don’t meet goals when you decide to take pto

Cons

The company has 2 rounds of massive layoffs. Not due to Covid, but due to financial issues. The way they handled the layoffs was ruthless and out of the blue. They are now making agents who were remote, to come back to the office in the middle of a pandemic and a recession. On top of everything, they constantly are increasing their metrics and they continue to make the commission/ bonus structure more unattainable. The base pay is also way below industry standards

Pros

Teammates, awesome employees, seems upper management is the one that's lost.

Cons

If you have experience in sales, it's not your typical sales place. Sales seems to be the department that everyone has authority over, monitors, micromanages, and seems to stigmatize. If you're a hard salesman, you won't enjoy the established protocols here. Processes are unnecessarily changed frequently, QA will make sure to assume something was done wrong. Seems like no people with serious sales department experience is running the department, so everyone pushed the department around. Serious micromanagement.

Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry that this position was not the right fit for your experience. We recognize that this is not your typical sales position, it is important to consider that you are asking patients that rely on their medications to change the way they get those medications, which is why quality assurance is so vital. We change our processes to make sure we are doing the best we can for our clients, patients and employees.
