Pros
Pay is decent and complimentary healthcare
Cons
Working in the Member Connect department as a Member Service Representative has been one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had with any employer.
During onboarding, they create the illusion of a warm, supportive culture by offering Texans gear, gifts, and complimentary breakfast. However, that initial excitement quickly fades. Leadership, communication, and their outdated systems make day-to-day work extremely challenging.
Their core platform for accessing member accounts is severely outdated, and the internal resource system, EpiCenter, is cluttered with disorganized, outdated information and old PDF files. Navigating it is a constant struggle.
Training lasted about three weeks and felt unnecessarily cumbersome. We were handed stacks of documents to keep at our desks because the system was unreliable, and we were moved from floor to floor carrying thousands of pages, laptops, binders, and personal items. The final training location—a freezing conference room with a malfunctioning heater—made the experience even worse.
Once we transitioned from training to production, everything unraveled. The culture I was promised during my interview simply did not exist. Instead of a supportive, professional environment, I encountered constant gossip, negativity, and unprofessional behavior—even from leadership.
I joined with genuine optimism, believing I was stepping into an uplifting environment where employees could grow and succeed. Unfortunately, that was far from the reality. I left a great, fully remote role with a positive culture for what I thought would be a better opportunity, but it ultimately proved to be a complete misrepresentation.
The issue isn’t me. It’s the culture—disorganized, unprofessional, and nothing like what was promised.
