Toxic & Unorganized

Pros

This part is not important.

Cons

At first I was proud of working here until I noticed how unorganized and toxic my department is. There are no SOPs to clearly outline my job! One manager says one thing and another tells me something different. Then, suddenly after weeks of doing what I’ve been told to do, I’m advised not to do it because I need more training. It’s as if every person is their own manager, passing their work to another. Get it together EDH. You’re losing managers and good employees. It’s bad enough the economy is going down. No one has time to keep resigning. I hate chaos. Every time I come in, I feel anxious. At any moment the rug could be pulled from beneath me. Also, there’s low key psychological bullying going on. Example, Whenever I get praised for doing a good job, suddenly someone comes to me to fix something bogus that I know I didn’t do. Or I get blamed for something another employee did. Communication is horrible as well.

Pros

Nice employees Snacks Decent work environment

Cons

- Paying $10 to park plus gas and only getting $100 per month. Who pays to park to go to work???? - Terrible training class as all it is are untrained people regurgitating slides and not getting very interactive with it. No kind of memory games, work in the system as they teach or anything. Just take notes and take a test on Friday. - Lied to as I was told $20 per hour and offered $18 two days before the start day. -Micromanagement to death -All the ability to work from home yet make you spend money to come in downtown Dallas every day The money does not equal the huge workflow you will endure as everything is based on metrics and not customer satisfaction.

Hello- thank you for taking the time to submit feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our new hire experience. Based off a few of the things disclosed in this review, we believe you may have been hired as a temp to permanent employee and apologize for any miscommunication our third party staffing partner may have inaccurately communicated during the hiring process. All contract employees are eligible for a higher rate of pay should they convert to a FTE. We do provide our parking stipend of $100/month to all FTE and contract hourly employees because we do understand the inconvenience of paying for parking . All of our Care Advocates are required to be onsite for training, and their initial time in role (once they have passed training). After that period (roughly 4-6 months), all CAs are eligible to work remotely 1-2 days/week subject to meeting performance standards. However, contract employees are not eligible for this benefit until they are directly employed by us. While we are continuously looking to improve our training (thank you for the great insight on training format), we never prohibit employees from gaining additional training support in order to feel fully equipped to do their role. We also host additional trainings for all of the member services team periodically throughout the year. If you feel you were not adequately trained, we encourage you speak to your supervisor and they can help get you the support you need. Additionally, after receiving various feedback from former training classes (which we solicit after every training class so we can continue to improve), we have added a 1-2 week additional "hub zero" period where new hires take a small volume of cases and gain more of that on the job training you have indicated you are seeking. Finally, regarding workload, we are thrilled to be in a position to add jobs in a market where new jobs are slowing down. This is due to growth in our product offering. As we staff the team, this does put a temporary strain on our current team to take on more cases. Our incentive plan (which full time employees are eligible for) is designed to reward employees for their case management (quality and volume factored in). As a fast growing company, we recognize we have room for improvement with our new hire experience. We will take your feedback to the team to ensure we are considering future new hire experience and that we are clearly communicating the expectations around training, onsite work and compensation. We do understand our environment isn't the right fit for everyone but hope this response provides some clarity on some of your concerns.

Pros

I have nothing positive to say

Cons

Leadership is laughable. Agreeing in public setting with proposed changes only to resind or make excuses shortly thereafter behind closed doors. Leaving team in the wind when rest of leadership expects said changes to occur. Toxic culture. No one is empowered to make change and improvements to process. Change against status quo is met with extreme resistance and not championed by leadership throughout team to ensure adoption. Lack of focus. Expect to do everything without any understanding of delivery, capacity, or work.

Hello- thank you for taking the time to detail your experience with our company. As an ever evolving company, we are constantly changing and implementing new process that will improve our member experience. We value new ideas that can be supported with data and results. After all, data drives all business these days. For some, the benefit of being in a fast growing company is the ability to be flexible and agile and have input. However, that can be difficult for individuals who are used to a much more stable environment that doesn't champion such rapid process improvement. We recognize that setting clear and tangible expectations could be improved in some areas. We look to leaders (like yourself as indicated in your review) across the org to help improve these communication processes. Feedback has been a big focus area for our organization. Our HR team partners with leadership to drive and support accountability across all levels of the company. Performance is a team effort, and we look to everyone within the company to drive the high performance standards that have helped us get to where we are. We do understand this environment isn't for everyone, but do appreciate the detailed feedback to take back to our teams.
