Pros

Compensation was good but is changing; health insurance benefits are good for employee only and rise to alarming rates for family members; schedules are flexible; overtime is available.

Cons

Revolving door training classes result in new fodder replacing experienced employees at lower pay rates; treatment of medically-knowledgeable professionals as low-level call center employees; frequent firings based on outright lies of what was said on calls (which are all listened to), but without allowing employee to hear the tape; heirarchy plays to nepotism - not only in hiring unskilled relatives of owner as "highly educated health advisors" but in kiss-butt office politics; phone representatives are encouraged to have no personality, toeing company line which is vanilla banality; promotion of sheep with no management skills.

Great company if you don't want growth

Pros

- health benefits - bonus (albeit not well structured) - some of middle management are understanding and try to promote good workers (but can't override opinions of managers above them who may not even know the worker in question)

Cons

- no professional growth unless you are a 'friend' of someone higher up (ie. you better kiss some serious butt) - experience and education is often ignored - salary not equitable - those who do most work get lower pay than slackers - bonus structure not equitable - based on subjective opinions of managers rather than actual measurable achievements - upper management really does NOT want employee feedback - watch out if you give it!! - management egos are HUGE! - lot of unprofessional behavior
