High Turn Over, Management difficult, Long Work Hours
Staff Analyst (Former Employee), 55 Water Street – December 5, 2012
Pros: the office is modern, in good location in lower manhattan
Cons: not progressive, difficult culture, long hours, high stress levels and poor health outcomes
This is not a place for a career. The environment is of a very difficulty and harsh managerial structure. Anyone in school, pursuing hobbies pursuits or obligations will find out that the work hours are extensive and without forgiveness. Staff typically start working earlier than their schedule to keep up with work. Because it is the norm you will not – more... be recognized or compensated for such efforts. This company was HIP and because they lost a discrimination law suit changed its name to Emblem but the environment is the same. HR protects directors and managers who create the harsh culture and employees receive low pay and long days. Be wary of what they tell you and many people are linked as friends so the political navigation is tricky. Will never return here. Left after six months of abuse and went to a competitor. The work would be easy to complete if not for the plantation like environment. – less

Well established company with team values
Lead Medicare Analyst (Former Employee), New York, NY – October 7, 2012
Pros: lauging
Cons: long days
A typical day would involve being welcomed by the "family" of co workers. Working with CMS would always begin the day with review of all new regulations and guidelines. Identifying potential changes, contacting and working with all departments in the company. Following up with staff on project status . The hardest part of the job was operationalizing – more... the multiple changes that CMS required on a timely basis because it had to be done while operations continuted. THe most enjoyable part of the job was the camaraderie, team work and support of management and each other – less

16 to 20 hour days are typical
Nurse (Former Employee), New York, NY – July 11, 2012
Pros: nurses telecommute.
Cons: inadequate staffing, inexperienced, uneducated supervisor, high volume assignments requiring 16-20 hour days, no support from management. no education requirement for managers.
Very high staff turn-over. Very poor morale. Almost a dozen resignations in the past year and probably twenty in the past two years. Masters prepared RN's forced to report to a vocational school trained LPN with no management education or skills. Salary is comparatively low. Many resignations and those who are left are expected to work 16-20 hours due – more... to continously increasing assignments. Appropriate credentials and education are not required for managers. – less

Ororo – November 27, 2012

I agree, it's a revolving door. My first day at work, there were 4 staff who had resigned on my floor alone. Those in management are not as nearly qualified and knowledgeable as the staff they are supposed to be managing and they are never willing to hear suggestions from staff - they'll do whatever they want to do regardless of the consequences on the company itself. I guess, it's to mask their incompetence. There's just way too much politics going on that has a lot of negative impact on the company overall.

Productive workplace
Customer Service Advocate (Former Employee), Melville, NY – April 19, 2012
A typical work day consisted of a call volume between 60-90 inboud calls a day; some outbound calls made to providers and members.

I learned about different insurance types and how state sponsered programs work.

Management was questionable but my co-workers were GREAT!!!

The most enjoyable part of the job was assisting every member with their questions – more... or concerns. – less

Small, dynamic and hardworking group of women that keep me laughing and on my toes
Administrative Coordinator (Current Employee), New York, NY – April 2, 2012
Pros: no copays for basic health insurance
Cons: it is not in my true area of interest
The most enjoyable part of my current position is the variety of duties that comes with each work day. It's never the same day twice. I appreciate the mobility the position offers along with respect and trust that has been extended to me from my Director to manage myself accordingly.

The most challenging part of my current position is developing methods – more... to effectively monitor and reduce departmental costs while sustaining a sufficient level of resources through which the department can successfully meet its performance goals.

My overall experience from temporary to permanent employee at EmblemHealth has assisted my training and development in the areas of interpersonal skills, budgeting and time management. – less

Very good company
Customer Service Re[resentative (Current Employee), New York, NY – March 12, 2012
Pros: free exercise classes, free health checkups
Emblem health is very health oriented company as you would expect from a health insurance company.
You have the opportunity to grow within the company and gives you the tools so you can advance to other positions and better prepare yourself by giving free classes such as computer related, etc.
