Pros
The pro was the day I left the company. It was as if the entire weight of the world had been removed from my shoulders.
Cons
eHealth Insurance is the very definition of a "zombie company"—a lifeless entity that somehow still staggers on, with zero regard for its employees or clients. If you're thinking about working for or doing business with this company, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place doesn’t just neglect its people; it shows outright disdain for them. A Toxic Culture of Disrespect From day one, it’s clear that eHealth Insurance doesn’t value its employees. The management sees staff as nothing more than numbers on a spreadsheet, easily replaceable and utterly disposable. They foster a toxic work environment filled with intimidation, micromanagement, and a complete lack of support. There's no investment in employee development, no encouragement, and certainly no appreciation. Instead, there is a pervasive atmosphere of fear and frustration. Discriminatory Practices What’s worse, eHealth Insurance has a well-known history of mistreating employees based on disability and sexual orientation. This company’s disregard for basic human rights is appalling. Employees with disabilities are often overlooked for opportunities and are not given the accommodations they need to succeed. Those who identify as LGBTQ+ face outright discrimination, from being passed over for promotions to enduring a hostile work environment filled with harassment and bigotry. Management turns a blind eye to these issues, if not outright encourages them. Exploiting Clients for Profit Clients are treated no better. The company prioritizes profit over people, pushing high-margin plans that are often completely unsuitable for the clients’ actual needs. Their so-called "advisors" are just glorified sales agents, incentivized to prioritize commissions over customer care. There's no genuine effort to provide tailored, thoughtful advice—only a relentless push to sell, sell, sell. An Organization Without a Soul eHealth Insurance is a company without a soul. It has no ethics, no integrity, and no respect for the people it employs or the customers it pretends to serve. The only thing it cares about is the bottom line, and it’s willing to sacrifice its reputation, its workforce, and its clients to stay afloat. A Clear Warning To anyone considering working here or buying their services: stay away. This is not a company that will support you, value you, or even treat you with basic human decency. eHealth Insurance is a shambling, hollow organization that has no place in today’s world, and it’s only a matter of time before its unethical practices catch up with it.
