Pros

Hybrid work , paid well, good team and leadership

Cons

Everyday facing like a this is the last day of work due to micromanagement layoff wave, biggest mistake they did is instead of good management they rebadged service company employees to product this causes lot of micromanagement and monitoring. Higher management is living 20 years backwards. They just wanted to be good on client list by doing some politics than real productivity

Pros

Generous vacation time, closed every federal/bank holiday, and the allowance for an additional 40 hours of paid volunteer time during work hours is a nice sentiment( be aware that volunteer time is quite difficult to use if you are in the call center, but I'm sure flexibility varies by manager). Fairly diverse workforce.

Cons

This place is highly disorganized to the point where it is difficult to manage day to day functions. No one seems to know what is going on. Expect to be given a workload so extensive that prioritization is not possible. To make matters worse this company is constantly outsourcing jobs to foreign nationals in India and The Philippines. One would think this could be a national security risk, but that doesn't matter when your only motive is your bottom line. If you are offered a job in the call center, please rethink unless you are desperate. The amount of abuse that Voya allows towards its call center employees alongside ridiculous KPI's is abysmal. To top it all off, one of the core measurements in performance reviews is "customer obession". Sounds pretty cult-like and any claims of this being true are negated by most of the company's practices which increase volume and turn around time for operations. If anything, Voya seems to be obsessed with making things difficult for the customer which may I remind you are not just the giant corporations they serve, but the every day hard working people who have retirement accounts with these employers. They matter too.
