Pros

The work culture used to be really good but it’s degrading. Other than that the only thing that could be currently alright is salary. But that’s not the most important thing, work life balance and perks are equally important

Cons

Lack of proper direction. Ineffective planning. Benefits are mediocre.

We value your feedback and are pleased to hear that you appreciate our comprehensive benefits package and flexible work opportunities. Change is inevitable, and our commitment to growth and adaptability remains unwavering. We remain focused on creating an amazing employee experience and having an engaged workforce which is reflected in our top talent retention rate of 98.5%, well above the industry standard. Retention of our talent will always be a key leadership priority. We are also fortunate that many of our leadership changes have been a result of internal promotions, this allows us to maintain consistency in direction and approach. New leaders bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and diverse approaches that we believe make us stronger. If you could use additional support through a leadership transition, please contact a member of the HR team.

Pros

Unlimited PTO (though some teams took more then other teams and even though there was coverage to watch cases, apparently this is a problem. So yes unlimited pto but make sure you dont take too much of it)

Cons

What was one a remote job as told by multiple people doing interview/hiring process became coming in 1 day a week. Now its switching to two days a week. We had an office party where they gave away free stuff so a bunch of people who never show their face in office came and this convinced upper management that everyone now wants to come in twice a week. Warning, there was hardly any desk space left during holiday part and some of us were told we would have to move if more people show up. Move where exactly? As part of a team that works until 8pm EST, its crazy to be told one moment about 7% of phone calls come after 6pm, but there are no plans to move more people to morning crew. Also employees getting promoted/title changes without job postings, talk about favoritism, employees leaving to other teams/leaving the company and then higher ups deciding they arent going to fill the positions we lost. Let see, wanting to know if the amount of morning people we have on phones is the new permanent number and someone being delusional enough to say summer is around the corner. Its February, summer is out slow month. So i guess its fine to suffer for a couple months now since summer is right around the corner. Getting more and more work put on top of your own because so many people left the team, but dont worry guys you’ll get that 1% raise. Sorry mines was 1.5% not the 3-5% the company says by the way. Also always fun that when you are in the office, everyone and i do mean everyone except us who dont matter vanishes from the office by 4:30-5pm. Once had upper managerment tell us he was going home early because a storm was coming and he didnt want to get stuck in it. Must have been nice not to get stuck in the rain like us. Upper management is completely out of touch. They want people back in office while they dont come themselves of dont stay the full day. They quote articles published years ago about how great being back in office is, ignoring recent data. Honestly this jobs is good for the moment but not long term. They talk about how all these changes are to improve team work and communication (obviously they cant say they just want to micromanage us) but they say that and drop these big changes with no communication, nothing. We either get told by email or a team meeting. When we went back to office 1 day of week they only gave us like 2 weeks warning or so. This time they were nice enough to give us a month. Also, even though its been over a year, having someone higher up telling me to figure it out and deal with it doesnt help anyone but prove how out of touch and unimportant your employees are to you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with PlanSource. The feedback of our employees and customers continues to shape the decisions we make each day. I certainly understand not all changes are welcome, which is why we try to give as much context and time to help our teams be prepared. I want to respond to your comment about team resources. As you know, we just wrapped up our busiest season and most successful Open Enrollment in the history of the company. I realize the allocation of resources did not feel ideal for all teams. While we try to allocate resources correctly, I understand we sometimes miss the mark and that has an impact on our employees and for that I apologize. We are continuously looking to use technology to simplify processes and support our teams, we are also actively recruiting and placing team members now, and I expect you will see some starting in the next few weeks. In response to your comment about returning to the office. We know that the remote work environment is productive and appealing, while many companies are pushing for a full return to office, our minimal request for twice a week is to enhance our business growth and team development. Personally, I am at the office 3 – 4 days a week and I love walking around and having the opportunity to visit with team members. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you in person and hear about your experience, please reach out next time you are there. Lastly, we recently hosted our All Hands call, and addressed staffing plans and the evolution of our hybrid work environment. PlanSource has been voted as a Great Place to Work and we want to continue that designation bestowed by the team. Listening to and addressing your feedback helps us make sure we are considering all perspectives; I hope you’ll reach out to myself or a member of our HR team to continue the conversation. We appreciate the candid feedback and taking the time to submit a review. Thank you, Alan Primeaux, Chief Operating Officer

Pros

Great Benefits, fair enough pay, work life balance (for myself but not others), my direct leadership was always very open to speak candidly with.

Cons

Seems like the company is falling apart lately, many ELT, leadership, and even the CEO jumped ship at the end of 2023/ beginning of 2024. I should of seen the writing on the wall but decided to stay only for the company to downsize where I was let go. They let go many well performing and tenured employees in their sales dept, people who hit 100% + of their sales quotas last year or even YOY. Only to keep brand new reps with only several months on. Just didnt seem like a smart decision. CRM is a hot mess making reps lives so much more harder than it needed to be. In my 6 years there, the company always made it seem like the issues would be corrected and fixed but never were.
