Pros

Remote and summer Friday’s- neither is worth it

Cons

Hidden behind the smoke and mirrors of a large unstoppable origination dedicated to fighting the unreasonable cost of healthcare lies a sinking ship. Miserable employees are working through lunches, forced to work unpaid overtime, having commissions stolen from them, being lied to daily about the companies direction and are treated horribly by management. The truly ‘special’ were able to buy into profit sharing and have received large payouts from the last sale. Their new financial success is at the expense of the vast majority of front line associates work life balance. Most associates need second jobs to provide for their families. Overworked and underpaid is the theme all while the rich get richer. The privileged have provided jobs with made up titles for their friends to join them in their financial win. The clients are no longer the priority. We see you Zelis. We see you and those that care, those that have a sense of integrity are leaving.

Pros

Good work/life balance, generous PTO

Cons

• Excessive management layers: There are too many layers of management, many of which seem focused on self-preservation rather than supporting the team. This creates unnecessary bureaucracy, leaving employees bogged down with low-value tasks and corporate checkboxes instead of meaningful work. • Outdated technology and resistance to innovation: The tech stack is significantly outdated, and there is a clear resistance to adopting modern solutions. For example, I was penalized for incorporating AI into development work, despite other teams being encouraged to use tools like ChatGPT for less impactful tasks. Opportunities to implement cost-saving, AI-driven solutions were dismissed without proper consideration. • Unsustainable expectations for advancement: Promotions appear to be reserved only for top performers who are willing to prioritize work above all else. The expectation to “eat, sleep, and breathe” the job creates an unhealthy work-life balance and limits growth opportunities for otherwise strong contributors.
