Pros

Is there an option for negative stars? I honestly have only two nice things to say about HPONE. 1. They brought in food regularly. Whether you were lucky enough to partake is another story considering how busy we were. 2. The very nice, fun, educated, real, down to earth people I worked with. It's a shame we all got suckered into this job.

Cons

Management was beyond shady. They told you exactly what you wanted to hear. Support and training was extremely lackluster and almost non-existent. Commissions were not what they said it would be. Stories changed daily. Permanent employment is not a concept they understand or adhere to. Wages were not as described and it changed often as well. Overtime? What overtime? Don't forget about your draw. Ultimately it came down to this: The concept of dangling the carrot was extremely prevalent….especially for permanent employment. There was a whole lot of politics, stories and changes. Employees were only in the know if it suited HPONE and their scheme. Most employees that were/are retained are not there because of performance, but because of whom they are friends with within the company. HPONE made many promises and did not keep them. Micro-management was evident in all areas. Bonuses, commissions, programs, rules….everything changed from day to day. There was a lack of stability and a significant lack of support and training at almost all levels. Each carrier had different rules according to individual contracts. Employees moved around different projects regularly. The only consistency with HPONE is their inconsistency. They are a churn and burn and they lack employee stability and security.

Pros

Contract work. They pay for necessary training & licensing. Open enrollment period for health insurance. If you already work in the field and are just working to supplement income, will work for you as temp work for a few months in the busiest time of year for health insurance sales.Base hourly rate plus spiffs (no residuals or true commissions). Rich employee pool from all different fields looking to make a career change. Employees add a great dimension for good networking contacts going forward. We all learned a lot from each other in the process.

Cons

Carrot held out for permanent employment which rarely happens. Lots of politics. They use stack ranking as a reason to lay off. Stack ranking takes points off for any deviation of your schedule of work, whether requested by manager, or approved by managemnet. Most employees kept on are not there because of performance, but who they are friends with in the company. They make a lot promises and do not keep them. Micromanagement in all areas. Bonuses, rules, everything changes from day to day. There is a lack of stabilllity at almost all levels of employment. Each carrier has different rules according to individual contracts. Employees get moved around projects a lot. The only consistency with this company is their inconsistency. They are a churn and burn. They are opening another office for next enrollment period in Phoenix Metro--it will be the same-churn & burn, lack of employee stability, no benefits as outlined on website except for the few permanent employees.Run-dont walk!
