Pros

-Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, Life Insurance -Free Parking & Gym available at Waltham Location -Competitive base pay and overtime -Free day off for Mental Health Month -Free company swag on a quarterly basis -Company has amazing potential to do so much good for the communities it touches -Many talented, friendly, and hardworking people here that want to see that mission become a reality

Cons

-"Words over actions" company; they will say whatever they need to for gratification but their actions give the opposite message. -Complete lack of diversity (people and training) in the company which has led to some missed marks on multiple occasions -Beware if neurodivergent: no support offered for disabilities and repeatedly dismissed and patronized by manager, repeatedly got upset with me due to things related to my disability but actively refused any support that would lead to my success, repeatedly assigned tasks that set me up for failure even after multiple requests not to due to my disability. -No value placed in the people working for them; all they care about is your productivity output, even if it means sacrificing your mental and physical health. -Don't mention you have any talents that can be perceived as profitable: the company will expect you to use it for their own gain and skip out on hiring a professional to do the work. They'll force you to use the talent for their profit and then let you receive all the negative criticism if people don't like it without any protection. -Reactive over proactive: pointing out potential issues/roadblocks is a waste of time as management will dismiss you until the issue becomes an emergency and now you have to drop everything to solve something that could have been solved leisurely 3 months ago. -Expected to regularly work overtime or on the weekends without any work life balance consideration; you risk getting reprimanded for not working overtime to meet tight deadlines on projects that are dumped on you last minute. They are not up front about this during interviews or when you start. -Micro-management to the point of being unable to make progress on anything without approval from someone in management -Nepotism and favorites played amongst management; praise given behind closed doors to non-favorites and public posts on slack or comments in video meetings given for favorites. -No credit given or credit stolen by teammates/management multiple times -Repeatedly given tasks without needed information or resources to complete the task and setting you up for failure from the beginning; management won't listen if you ask for what you need to do the task and will let you fail, completely expecting it. -Management actively tries to fill your time with busy work in order to keep the appearance of being "useful" while simultaneously telling you that "you need to stay in your lane" when you help coworkers with the tasks you were just assigned. -Despite having a Mental Health Month, company does not care about employees wellbeing: repeated complaints from employees to management about burnout, task overload, lack of resources, etc without any real resolution from upper management; there were a lot of promises to better things, but no actions to support their words. -Nothing is sent in writing intentionally, even if you ask for it: Management/teammates purposefully would give negative feedback via phone or google meet so that it left no paper trail for the things they said. I couldn't go to HR about the situation because I had no way to prove anything. -Management has no problem throwing their employees under the bus for their mistakes in order to stay in the good graces of execs/upper management. -Your base pay is basically the only compensation you'll see. Raises are insultingly low and with no real career growth available, you're stuck with what you start with.

Pros

Competitive pay, benefits and great hours. Lots of commission potential

Cons

The favoritism within the sales department is insane. Some of their 'top sellers' are just bullies to the clients, and will hang up on plan changes (since we don't get paid for them outside of AEP)it seems like they let them get away with it because they get sales.
