Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated our performance-based bonus structure. The customer advocate position provides valuable experience, and we have had a great deal of success in career mobility from the CA position. Our leaders and HR team are available to partner with our employees to create individual development plans, defining goals and milestones to grow your career. I apologize that we did not make that opportunity clear to you. Your input helps us improve, and we appreciate your contributions during your time with Lantern. Wishing you the best in your career journey. Thank you, Meredith Fish SVP, Human Resources

Pros

Some of the people are great, fun company events

Cons

This company is a textbook example of what happens when leadership prioritizes self-promotion over genuine organizational growth. The issues here run deep and are impossible to ignore: 1. **Leadership Hypocrisy:** Managers here excel at talking the talk but fail miserably when it comes to walking the walk. They’ll tell you how much they “value” your input, but the moment you offer actionable, well-researched ideas, they dismiss you as “too junior” to influence change. To add insult to injury, they’ll often take your ideas, present them as their own, and reap the rewards while you’re left in the shadows without even a thank you. It's demoralizing and unethical. 2. **Engagement in Name Only:** While they tout “fun events,” these do nothing to address employee dissatisfaction. An engagement survey revealed significant dissatisfaction among employees, and the company responded by handing out merch—selectively, no less—instead of addressing the real underlying issues. This performative gesture only underscores how disconnected leadership is from the reality of employee concerns. 3. **Unfair Recognition and Compensation:** The disparity in how employees are treated is glaring. Long-tenured employees are rewarded with raises and bonuses despite coasting on subpar performance, while newer, hardworking employees are overlooked—even when they go above and beyond, putting in extra hours during evenings and weekends. This lack of recognition breeds resentment and kills morale. 4. **Toxic HR and Cliques:** HR exists solely to protect leadership, not employees. If you weren’t part of the original hires, don’t expect them to have your back. The workplace culture is clique-driven and cutthroat, with people eager to betray colleagues if it means gaining favor with higher-ups. This fosters a deeply toxic environment where trust is nonexistent. 5. **Skyrocketing Turnover:** The company boasts about bringing in new hires but fails to retain talent. Employees are told they’re the “backbone of the company,” but the moment they’re deemed inconvenient, they’re fired without clear justification. The lack of transparency and respect is appalling and further fuels the revolving door culture. 6. **Embarrassingly Bad Benefits:** For a healthcare company, the benefits are shockingly subpar. The employer’s insurance options ensure that you’ll be paying exorbitant out-of-pocket costs for medical care unless you manage to hit the no-copay threshold—which is near impossible unless you have a family. The benefits clearly cater to employees with families, leaving single employees not only underserved by the plans but also severely overworked to compensate for their family-focused colleagues. It’s a blatant double standard and a slap in the face to hardworking individuals without dependents. This company is a disaster for anyone seeking fairness, professional growth, or work-life balance. Between the toxic leadership, exploitative practices, inequitable benefits, and a culture of favoritism, it’s hard to imagine how they’ll keep employees long-term. Proceed with caution—or better yet, don’t proceed at all.
