Pros

I think this a great job for those who are looking for work straight out of college! You get paid fairly. I also like how the co-workers are friendly as well. They are also helpful!

Cons

The training is insane! I was not told that I had to an intense training. It reminded me of college. We all have to get an overall average of 80 on the exams. You have absolutely NO time to study unless you want to study outside of the time that you are not getting paid. If you do not pass, employment is not guaranteed.

Pros

It’s a paycheck and they don’t give very good raises at all.

Cons

They are unorganized. They give more work than employee can handle and then expect them to come in on weekends to get caught up. Their management team don’t run their departments well. They don’t hire enough people. They are slow with responses.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this valuable feedback from your current employment here at Health Advocate. I apologize that your experience with us is not great and that you feel as though we do not care about our employees. Working within a call center is busy, it’s demanding, and it can be overwhelming, especially during periods where we are understaffed. While I’m aware I can’t change your past experiences, I do want you to know that we have revamped our recruiting strategies and hiring process. In comparison to previous years, we have hired more people earlier this year already in hopes to reduce the stress of the workload during our busy times and we are continuing to actively pursue candidates to support our teams. This is something we are proud of, and our current employees are noticing these improvements as well. Additionally, we have always engaged our employees in recognition lunches and events on a regular basis. However, I do understand that people like to be recognized in different ways. If you would like to share your ideas on how we can recognize employees differently I would love to hear them! Contact me at Hmintzer@healthadvocate.com anytime. Thanks again for taking the time to write your review; We will be using all Glassdoor feedback to continue to move us in the right direction. Human Resources Business Partner - Howie Mintzer
