Pros

Good pay, good benefits, close at 7pm if you're a sales and care representative. If you don't mind offering products on every phone call and have a good sales pitch, this is the job for you!

Cons

Being an NOHD rep, we didn't close until 11pm which was horrible. Constant back to back calls without time in between. If we took a quick rest to catch our breath, a manager would be instant messaging us asking why.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
