Pros

Great pay. Work from home. Flex schedule.

Cons

There is no benefit to working hard. Promotions are not based on performance. Mass hiring and mass layoffs are a yearly occurrence. Organizational structure is in constant flux resulting in a workforce who barely knows who they report to. Fired on 7 year anniversary. This happened literally 30 minutes after a department meeting where it as announced that 40 new associates in Puerto Rico will be hired on. Termination reasons were true at surface level, but dont tell the full story. Fired for: -Not responding to an email within 24 hours. Which email? one of the 15 sent daily of which it is unclear whether or not a response is required? -Missed production this month. First time in 7 years missing production. Production was only missed because I was working right from a work list provided by management. In fact, this was the first month I said to heck with my own way or doing things and worked strictly from the list they provided. -Idle time too high. I do agree idle time is high, but no matter how consistently work is getting done idle time is always over their expectation. The idle time counter is ill understood by management and is micromanagement at its finest. How can idle time be 3 hours a day, yet production goals are far exceeded? Hours worked are more important than work done. -Case out of compliance. An aged case was found nearing the compliance deadline. Email was sent to management about said case. Management said they would take care of it. This was all documented via email. Case was not taken care of by management. The case eventually aged out of compliance and resulted in a write up. After 7 years of service and never missing a performance bonus or a day of work, there was no acknowledgement of the good. Only mention of the final month where new systems are creating chaos within the department and mistakes were being made.

Pros

When you first interview and first start EVERYTHING seems like a major pro. Makes you feel like you won the lottery of jobs. A dream come true job. They tell you, you can make your own schedule They tell you you will not have to work weekends, they have a team strictly dedicated to working weekends

Cons

Everything about this company is literally the worst. EVENTHOUGH IT IS THE LAW THE DO NOT ACCOMIDATE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES. They will tell you its not a recognized company holiday. I was told if they did it for me they would have to do it for everyone and it wasn't a recognized holiday. I even told them in my interview and was reassured that I would be perfectly fine and had anything to worry about they would make accommodations HEAVILY MICROMANAGE EVERYTHING They have clear favorites They work you worse than slaves Some of my fellow coworkers work 12 hour shifts and have no life outside of this job because you are expected to stay until the job is done even though they never inform you when they hire you Everything is your fault even though you were not properly trained its on you to figure it out They heavily discipline expectations even if they were never communicated with you Their training is a complete joke They clearly have no knowledge of the job themselves but expect the employees to just figure it out No one training has ever done the job

Pros

Work from home position. They provide work computer equipment.

Cons

Auto dialer with back to back calls from customers which gives you no time to prepare to speak to them. Micromanagement is severe. The metrics are extremely unreasonable. There are several leading indicators in the expectation is to meet each one at 95% or greater. We are dealing with elderly population and sometimes you can’t even get them to answer basic questions. The culture is a lie. They tell you that they trust your clinical judgment to understand what the patients needs are, but then force you to cut your calls and not follow up with members. Benefits are being cut for membersand a lot of authorizations for procedures are denied and you get to be the one that takes these complaints on a regular level . daily changes to workflow. Most things are that are out of the nurses control will still count against their metrics. They promised a bonus and of Medicare reimbursement changes. Most nurses that excel still didn’t get the bonus expected. Raises for myself were zero because of one or two metrics being at 80 to 90% range. Essentially telemarketing nursing job. Begging people to talk to you to take an assessment after a year many departments were let go with reduction in force. Other coworkers say that this reduction enforce happens almost yearly.
