Pros

Some of the people are sweethearts and have great goals and aspirations. This job can really help build empathy, compassion, and patience. I love that there are so many young professionals who have so much potential to advance but are not given the opportunity to do so.

Cons

Micro aggressions and micro insults are mainly aimed towards black employees and women. They value their members over there employees by the way they ignore their employees individuality, subject their employees to verbal abuse from their members, and ignore their employees mental well-being for the sake of “putting the members first” and “keeping the members happy”. Management exhibits toxic positivity and likes to makes departmental decisions without consulting with their team to get their input on how these changes will positively/negatively affect their work input/output. There is a serious lack of communication and boundaries among departments and staff. This often leads to constant changes in roles and responsibilities that places unrealistic demands on employees that leads to burnout. In the 30 years of business, they’ve just decided to implement PTO, sick days, and vacation days for non-salaried employees. Favoritism between departments often leads to a feeling of resentment because staff is left out of important conversations that impacts the entire department’s function. Managers often display toxic positivity as a means of “looking at the big picture” when in actuality, this tactic is used to gaslight employees into thinking they are not performing well and leave employees feeling unheard. The pay is not equal to the amount of work that is placed on non-salaried employees, especially in the PS and MS department. PS and MS staff are severely overworked and underpaid and are forced to work with managers that care more about holding times on the phone and not extending your bathroom breaks more than 5 minutes, rather than offering staff resources to do their job better. Attorneys are severely underpaid and deserve better rate increases because they are often paired with members that are very demanding and wants their attorney to act as their therapist/case manager. HR thinks that implementing diversity and inclusion programs will reduce the overt and covert racism displayed in the office. And tends to dance around concerns of overt and covert racism and misogyny.

Pros

Remote that’s the only pro.

Cons

Leads and management do not respect or trust their employees. They stay on you all day expecting you to reach numbers that are impossible due to the low rates they are trying to pay the attorneys that you have to contact. Pay was very low. I could go on and on about the negatives. Just happy to no longer be working there.

Pros

A few pros that I can say about the company is there are a lot of employees who work really hard to make legal access plans what it is.

Cons

There were a few downsides of working at the company: - Certain employees were asked not to utilize PTO or vacation days because they wanted to make sure employees were there to accommodate business needs. -PTO was limited to 9 days and sick leave was limited to 3 days. -The company made promises to provide bonuses to employees then recanted their promise due to budget restrictions. -Employees aren’t allowed to be fully transparent with members about their legal benefits because the company usually sold products that they couldn’t guarantee/have. -There was little concern for employees mental health and I was told my management that my personal matters were an excuse as to why I was not performing up to standards. -There were constant changes in policy and procedures and employees were expected to adapt to constant changes immediately and if employees could not adapt to the constant changes, their competency was challenged. -HR would frequently schedule appointments, then either forget to show up for appointments or would be late to said appointments. -There were concerns of mismanaging company funds for personal use. - Employees would voice their concerns with managers about their management styles, then managers would target those employees with performance plans, write ups, or would comment to other employees and managers that the employee was difficult to work with. -Employees were frequently subjected to verbal abuse from members and harsh words from managers. When employees would voice their concerns with the heavy workload they received, certain managers would tell employees that they were not managing their time correctly and needed to work harder. -The CEO of the company has no sense of boundaries and would interrupt your work to focus on tasks he deemed more important instead of discussing it with you first. -The opportunity for growth was very small and managers would sometimes block employees opportunity to advance in the company because they personally did not like them. -The Quality Assurance manager hired in 2023 would often refuse to listen to their staff’s concerns and would ignore the visible cracks in policy and procedures, and would implement procedures that were not sustainable. -Employees of color were often given labels as “difficult to work with” and “aggressive” if they did not always agree with procedures or asked questions. -Employees were given the label of “not being a team player” if they did not always go above and beyond for members and other departments. For example, if team members did not frequently help when understaffed, they were critiqued for not putting their work aside to help other departments with their task, and if team members did drop everything to help other departments, they would be asked why didn’t they complete their assigned tasks as well. - Employees were often expected to do the jobs of other departments. For example, if you were in Customer Resolution, you were expected to start the claims process, reach out to attorneys to confirm they could assist members, provide member referrals, and update attorney profiles. Or if you were a provider specialist, you were tasked with matching cases, recruiting attorneys, getting information from the attorney to start the claims process.
