Pros

Great teammates, decent training, good health insurance and 401k match

Cons

Great for your first sales job. As an experienced sales professional I feel very micro managed and spoken to like a child. Most managers do not help you grow at all. I've seen plenty of reps do horrible role plays or give wrong answers only to be told "great job". They are really not helping their team be successful. My dials, appointments set, appointments ran, and referrals are all tracked each day. We have weekly trainings that rarely bring any value. Extremely high turnover. On my team I've seen 6+ reps leave over the last year and I'm aware of 3 reps that are looking for a new role. If you are doing well, you are praised but if you miss one month, you are threatened with a PIP.

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.
