Pros

The contact center has a very strong leader, who is the AVP-Operations. The AVP is always welcome to new ideas, even ones that are critical of management. The company recently got rid of 2 operations managers who were very toxic in terms of their people skills, which is very good news for the employees in the call center. Gary Guiser, the President, has excellent sales skills, and hopefully this will result in landing some major new clients this year. Gary and his sales team attend many of the major health insurance trade shows, and he is very visible with our clients.

Cons

The company needs to do a better job of cross-training their employees in multiple client programs, such as CR/Main, LIFT, Lincoln Financial and CareSource. This will reduce the need for the company to arbitrarily lay employees off due to lack of training/skills. The company needs to do a better job of retaining its key clients, as they lost WellCare as a client last year, which triggered massive layoffs in the call center.

Pros

I have worked for LifePlans for over 20 years and a contract nurse. It has been a great company and the employees are always so nice and friendly when you call in. Very easy to take time off when you want to.

Cons

No extra incentives for contract nurses or bonuses.

Pros

the commute is very manageable

Cons

So many to mention. This company has had some of the same failing senior managers for 20 years. Each time a new president comes on board they talk tough and tell employees they will make the tough decisions and eliminate the employees bringing the company down but that never happens. Instead the managers and senior managers that do not follow established processes and can only be described as entitled and incompetent continue to be rewarded and their jobs shielded when layoffs come. Several managers routinely ignore email for a week or more which in turn delays projects. Senior managers have to be notified to intervene but in the end the offending manger(s) are promoted or rewarded. This company depended on strong nurses completing and reviewing the insurance assessments. However, there has been a deep shift in the company and there is now a pervasive disrespect for all the nurses. The nurses are not nearly paid industry standard and the company attitude is that internal/external nurses are overpaid. It was once a happy place to work but has truly become a toxic cesspool. There have been 3 layoffs under the current president. What does that tell you! There are zero growth opportunities and certain senior managers continue to quietly hire outside staff instead of posting the jobs internally to give current employees a chance to advance.
