Pros

When you are successful, there is no micro-managing. I have been with the company for 12 years. Most reviews on here with negative insight are from people who haven’t been at the company for a year. They are always looking, asking, and listening to us when we tell them what we need.

Cons

Base salaries are not the best as I make the same as new employees in the role. However, the comp plan is one of the best in the industry and benefits are better than most competitors as well. Tiers of conference are not attainable at current goals. Incentive trips and contests shouldn’t be based on % to quota. Example - 3 people hit fast start trip who did less in sales than I needed to even be eligible for the trip.

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.
