Pros

Generous vacation time, closed every federal/bank holiday, and the allowance for an additional 40 hours of paid volunteer time during work hours is a nice sentiment( be aware that volunteer time is quite difficult to use if you are in the call center, but I'm sure flexibility varies by manager). Fairly diverse workforce.

Cons

This place is highly disorganized to the point where it is difficult to manage day to day functions. No one seems to know what is going on. Expect to be given a workload so extensive that prioritization is not possible. To make matters worse this company is constantly outsourcing jobs to foreign nationals in India and The Philippines. One would think this could be a national security risk, but that doesn't matter when your only motive is your bottom line. If you are offered a job in the call center, please rethink unless you are desperate. The amount of abuse that Voya allows towards its call center employees alongside ridiculous KPI's is abysmal. To top it all off, one of the core measurements in performance reviews is "customer obession". Sounds pretty cult-like and any claims of this being true are negated by most of the company's practices which increase volume and turn around time for operations. If anything, Voya seems to be obsessed with making things difficult for the customer which may I remind you are not just the giant corporations they serve, but the every day hard working people who have retirement accounts with these employers. They matter too.

Pros

Stable and secure job. I worked for the Voya's client, the NYC Deferred Compensation plan. Benefits-wise I had the best of both worlds; while I was officially a Voya employee, I also felt treated like a NYC employee.

Cons

While I enjoyed a good sense of stability and security partly because we were treated like unionized NYC employees (despite being Voya employees and subject to Voya benefits), at the end of the day, it was a call center job where typically everyday is mundane and as far as career progression goes there is no end in sight. To add to that we always had our share of disgruntled frustrated NYC employees and retirees alike. We were watched closely and every minute counted towards our overall adherence. There was no way to achieve a perfect average handle time as some of the participants we dealt with were difficult and required more research into their issues. As far as any time off goes i.e. PTO docs appts etc it was dependent on whether the day was available and then only management approves it. If not and we really needed the day off due to a personal event, there was little to no room for compromise.
