Pros

Collaboration is important and supported.

Cons

Senior reps are allowed to poach from new reps lead base. Reps, supervisors and directors are bailing to competitors. Two downward revisions in the comp plan in one year is partially to blame but leadership matters. Great people don't leave good companies for no reason.

Pros

Opportunity to find success financially and professionally. The people, atmosphere, support, and stability make this place a good one to build a long term career. We work hard, but it’s worth it.

Cons

Base salary is lower than ideal but the commission structure is great if you are successful, put in the effort.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
