Pros

Work from home, with all the hovering and micromanagement of a toxic, in-person office

Cons

-Expensive benefits package -Parent company clearly planning to cash out on all of the goodwill Embrace had built with customers and brand partners, before gutting the company and shutting it down. The ship isn't sinking, it's beneath the surface and the air pockets are about to implode. -No possibility for upward movement, despite all the talk of opportunities for advancement within the department or movement into other departments. -Cliques. An alarming amount of cliques. -Want to have any respect from leadership? Hope you like Kool-Aid. -The product has become so unbelievably costly, with premiums doubling, tripling, even more for clients from year to year. Inflation is blamed, but many policies see the annual premium end up just shy of the annual maximum regularly. What good is $10k in reimbursement if it costs $9.5k annually to have it? -You will be berated and blamed for people's financial hardships, the death of their pets, and so much more. Pet parents are routinely allowed to belittle and demean customer service agents. The terms and conditions state that repeated abusive language to employees of the company will not be tolerated and Embrace reserves the right to cancel policies for repeated abusive behavior. It has not once happened. They would rather lose employees than any customer who is abusive enough to make someone quit. -Horrifically outdated and laughably bad technology and app functionality. You're expected to walk a 75 year old caller through how to clear their cache and cookies in their internet browser and provided no meaningful ways to troubleshoot. So when the cache and cookie clearing you know won't work does in fact fail, you get to try and navigate cooling off an angry and impatient senior citizen with no actual timeline of when the product will function again. This has been an ongoing issue since December. It's the end of June. -Offensive requirement to ask EVERY caller if they wish to add a pet, even if their rate just skyrocketed

Pros

Work life balance and getting to work from home

Cons

Since IPH acquired Embrace, employee morale has steadily declined. Many of the positive aspects of working here have been eliminated. Benefits were reduced, the majority of the IT department was laid off, and holiday bonuses were discontinued. Employees were told that although our PTO was being reduced, we would now have a company-wide “Wellness Day” as part of the new benefits. We were specifically informed that all IPH companies would be closed on July 2 and July 3, with July 2 designated as our Wellness Day. Then, about six weeks ago,management sent an email stating that those promised Wellness Days had been revoked and employees would be expected to work after all. Experiences like this have made it difficult to trust leadership. Repeated changes to promised benefits and perks have left many employees feeling undervalued and disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value hearing from current and former team members, even when perspectives differ from our own. We also recognize that transitions following an acquisition can be experienced differently by different employees. We would like to specifically address the feedback regarding the Wellness Day and provide additional context. When operational needs in parts of our business required a change to the originally planned company closure to support our pet parents, team members were informed well in advance and provided with several options designed to ensure they did not lose time off or compensation. Employees who worked those days received holiday pay, plus pay for hours worked, and a choice between a cash bonus or two additional paid days off. This approach gave employees the flexibility to use PTO when it was most meaningful and convenient for them, rather than on dates selected by the company. Additionally, team members with existing plans or scheduling conflicts were accommodated, and engagement activities and incentive opportunities were offered during that period. Many employees in the departments affected chose to work and take advantage of the additional compensation and flexibility provided. It's also important to note that this change did not impact all employees company-wide; it applied only to certain operational areas that regularly support business needs outside of traditional business hours. We understand that trust is earned through consistent communication and actions. While not every decision will be viewed the same way by every employee, our goal remains to create a workplace that supports flexibility, work-life balance, professional growth, and open dialogue. We remain committed to listening to employee feedback and continuously evolving to meet the needs of our people and our business. We appreciate your contributions and wish you continued success.
