Pros

I gained experience in the insurance industry, great knowledge of Medicare and Affordable Care Act plans, customer service and call center experience. Helping people get insurance is very satisfying.

Cons

Lack of: organization, training, systems that work, communication This is a call center. Everything you do is timed and counted. On the phone, employees are to portray OE as a professional company that cares about the individual. Off the phone, employees are treated as though they are disposable. Very, very few people are made full time employees. There are people who have worked here for years who are still considered temporary, and can be laid off at any moment. They have a "lay off schedule" that is made weeks in advance, but they do not inform employees of this to allow them to begin searching for jobs. The constant fear of being laid off makes for a sad and stressful work environment.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
