It has some rudimentary perks. However, it seemed like a club I wasn’t allowed into.
Call Center Agent (Former Employee) - Kingston, NY - September 21, 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedAt some point I no longer felt welcome. I felt shunned by my coworkers and management. I watched others have personal issues be welcomed with open arms while I was left behind when I needed our work culture the most.

Terrible place to work
Call Center Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Dallas-Fort Worth, TX - March 31, 2023
I just knew that I had found my place for retirement. NOpe not with this company. I worked the call center and it was none stop calls. Not even enough time to take a swallow of water that's near you. Your schedule shift is based on bids and your job performance. So you may end up loosing a shift that they put you on because of numbers and your time meaning how long your on the call. They tell you that time doesn't matter much as long as the customer or provider your speaking with issue is resolved but thats not true. This company only is concerned with numbers and time. They offer bonuses but they make it difficult to get because your numbers and time must be consistent all the time. They don't want you to use your PTO they give you during or after training once on the floor with supervisor. They inform you that taking off could hurt you when it's time for bonus, dept transfer or getting a good shift. They don't offer much help after training once your leave training & in production from Supervisor or Team Lead. They use long time employees that's on your team to help you while there trying to do there job as well by taking calls. They give you a bonus but only a portion during training and then they make it so difficult for you to stay and make you leave before the second part of the bonus is given and since you left before staying a yr you must pay back what ever money they gave you. They micro manage really bad. You have to document every single thing you do and send a screen shot to your supervisor or team lead of error messages that your getting. If you need to -
Pros
None
Cons
Micro managed, No morales, No respect, No integrity, No caring

Call Center Representative positionsOkay Company, hard to meet metrics
Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - Remote - January 21, 2023
It is hard to meet the metrics set. The company marks these against you and threaten your job, even if the member does not qualify for certain benefits.

Oppressive
Remote Call Center Agent (Former Employee) - Home - December 30, 2022

Nothing
Call Center Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Remote - December 6, 2022
You have to be on camera every day. When you are going on breaks you can turn the camera off. "They want you to feel like you are with your coworkers" ha the lies. Honestly, they want to watch you! Pay sucks. You will be let go at any given moment for no apparent reason. Management forget they were once in your shoes before they have gotten in their position and the higher-up.
Pros
Meeting cool people
Cons
Where do I start!!!!!

Poor Training, Management, and Support
Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Remote - September 8, 2022
There are NO MANUALS that explain how to do the job. The "SOPs" are inaccurate. There's a lot of favoritism between manager and "team lead", who speaks to people very disrespectfuly.

Excellent company to work for!
Call Center Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Work At Home - April 28, 2022
I feel blessed to work for United Health Group. I get to work with great individuals as a team, reaching our weekly and monthly goals. Helping members with health challenges is one that I have always cherished, and we get to teach individuals how to utilized the resources of their health plan in a way that's beneficial to them.

Not a friendly place
Enrollment Specialist/call center rep (Former Employee) - Duluth, MN - April 5, 2022
Working for this company you will not feel welcome at all. Employees are considered disposable and treated as such. Most of my coworker’s were very nice and I enjoyed working with them. But management and corporate act as is you are beneath them and don’t deserve respect.
Pros
Work from home
Cons
Overworked and underpaid. Management that is constantly changing, treated like property

No transparency and no support
Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Dublin, OH - December 4, 2021
You train for one job in the beginning and then are constantly moved into different departments. If you aren’t happy in that department, management doesn’t care because you were moved “for the company’s needs.” You are just another body on the phone taking calls; because it’s such a large company and it’s remote, no one sees or knows you personally and it shows. Toxic positivity is constantly displayed as a fix for being unhappy because management will do nothing to actually support you.
Pros
The pay, benefits, & incentives are nice but not enough to make me stay
Cons
Everything else

Good company to work for
Health Advisor (Call Center) (Former Employee) - San Antonio, TX - October 18, 2021
Good company, easy onboarding, good location. Co-workers were awesome. Training was sketchy, but in all, the job was easy to do. If I didn't exhaust my FMLA, I'd still be there
Pros
Work from home, company events, pay, benefits
Cons
None really

Entry level
Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - Texas - October 17, 2021
It is a great entry level call center. The training was a bit tough but it really helps when you get on the floor. At my interview I was told it would be it would be a remote position but on my first day that turned out to be a "privilege" to work from home. The job is really easy to the point where it gets so boring and your shift feels like it goes by so slow. They expect so much for a low wage. They need to be more organized and stop being so strict for the low wage they offer. They want you to do a background and drug test. Also if they can't find a previous employer they expect you to show proof with a pay check or IRS, which is ridiculous because they act like it's such a privilege to work there. If you stay for 90 days they offer advancements, but during that time they will try to find something to fire you for. They have a high turn over rate of employees, which they even seem to acknowledge, but wont change what they are doing.
Pros
Schedule, easy, good training
Cons
Short breaks, 90 day period, policies, management

Toxic work environment
Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Kingston, NY - May 21, 2021
I worked for this so called company for almost two years. One of their core values is compassion but the supervisors don't have a compassionate bone in their body. They let me go because of medical issues.
Pros
Weekends off
Cons
Over worked, understaffed, no compassion for employees with medical or mental illnesses

Great management, great pay
Call Center RN (Former Employee) - Greensboro, NC - April 7, 2021
Management was great in the department I worked in. The pay was very good. I felt like I was able to help the members when they called in. There were a lot of resources available to assist with daily tasks. Overall job assignment was easy and goals/metrics were easy to achieve. The only complaint was that we were often randomly given other tasks to do that were stressful and put us behind with our metrics.
Pros
Good pay, good benefits, good management
Cons
Random assignments to other departments, turnover

It was cool. Pay was good
Medicare and Retirement Customer Service Advocate (Call Center) (Former Employee) - Irving, TX - March 23, 2021
They started making changes without alerting the advocates. Started to micromanage really bad. My supervisor was very helpful in giving constructive feedback and tips on how to be a better customer service provider.

Not a long term career path
Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - Remote - February 9, 2021
I worked as a call center rep & the amount of work you have to do is RIDICULOUS! You are basically a community worker, call center rep, and assistant all in 1. For example. If a member is calling only for BENEFITS, you are to quote them their benefits, then expected to help look for a doctor, set up an appointment, AND transportation. Not to mention, there are so many different systems you have to utilize. Their employee metrics for bonuses are extremely high & unrealistic. I don’t recommend being a call center rep with this company.
Pros
Work from home
Cons
Short breaks, unprofessional management
