Pros

Not many nowadays. Previously a flexible environment that allowed you to run your own business in the ways that work best for you.

Cons

Counterproductive micromanagement is out of control. Small market minded senior leadership has no idea what they’re doing and they are ounce again driving the best reps away. Expect to heavy turnover over the next year, because the field is very unhappy. Pay is far below competition, Just terminated 401k match, and everything is a cheap bandaid solution, with no real investment into sales team and overall product line.

Pros

Opportunity to find success financially and professionally. The people, atmosphere, support, and stability make this place a good one to build a long term career. We work hard, but it’s worth it.

Cons

Base salary is lower than ideal but the commission structure is great if you are successful, put in the effort.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
