Pros

Benefits and time off (with tenure) are good

Cons

The environment is VERY political. Leadership is grouped up and if you’re on their bad side you’ll now and those around you will as well. The layoffs are happening 5-6 times a year and the worked outs shifts with no increases. Each year we were told we didn’t have money but always given a free day off as if that would impact the cost of living. Employees ere told they are valued but also that Alight pays for cost of labor not cost of living. Basically employees have been gaslighted but know the job market is scarce, do more even though you’re paid less or be laid off. Layoffs seem to be targeting tenure vs quality. I’ve seen some amazing people laid off that the team and company really could have supported to be competitive in the market.its not stable work environment unless you’re highly compensated but those employees are leaving by choice so its very suspicious.

Pros

Remote work with base pay. Some PTO. Telesales with scripts and all inbound pre-made appointments.

Cons

First of all, I thankfully came from another Medicare agency where I learned the backbone of Medicare education because Alight did not educate the employees on the essentials of Medicare; so I'm glad I already had that foundation otherwise I would have spiraled right on out of that position right at the beginning. I never got paid the commission I was promised. The first phone interview stated that I would receive all commission as one lump sum by the end of March. So after working AEP (OCT through DEC) I was waiting patiently for the commission from nearly 200 enrollments I completed. In Jan, I received 50% of my expected commission and never saw the remainder 50% come through. I reached out to multiple people including my direct management with no response. This position was temporary for potential permanency, I was asked to stay on without clarity and it basically turned into customer service support (and occasional enrollments.) The customer service was extremely heavy from all of the agents who did not do a great job - a lot of unhappy customers were calling in at the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026. The amount of commission per enrollment was never given to me in writing, so I had to learn a lesson the hard way. I left in February.
