Conduent reviews

Let me tell you about my experience working for a company called Conduent. In the eight months I worked there, it was by far one of the most stressful and frustrating jobs I have ever experienced. Personally, I would strongly advise anyone considering employment there to thoroughly research the company before accepting a position. The environment felt extremely micromanaged. Every phone call was monitored, and employees were constantly evaluated on quality scores and call metrics. One major concern for me was that there was no AUX option available for restroom breaks, which I viewed as a significant red flag. Employees were also advised to keep the boxes for their equipment in case they needed to return everything unexpectedly. Each morning, I often experienced technical issues when logging in, yet there was very little training provided on how to troubleshoot those problems. Instead of receiving support, employees could be labeled as “not tech savvy” and even receive attendance points because of technical difficulties outside of their control. I was eventually given attendance points and even a final warning related to these ongoing technical issues. The pressure throughout the day was overwhelming. If you dropped into AUX to return a member’s call or handle an issue, management would immediately message asking what you were doing. Supervisors constantly monitored employees, and mistakes were sometimes addressed through mass team emails, which felt embarrassing and unprofessional. The role itself involved handling FSA claims for members seeking reimbursement for eligible expenses through their employer-sponsored benefits. Because these funds came directly from members’ paychecks, many callers were understandably upset when claims were denied. Unfortunately, the training did not adequately prepare employees for handling these situations. When questions arose, employees were often directed to search article numbers while members waited on hold. If you could not find the answer, you were expected to contact an SME, but at times responses were delayed or ignored completely. At the same time, employees were still expected to maintain strict call handle time and hold time averages. While trying to research issues thoroughly and assist upset members, there was constant pressure to move quickly. What made the situation even more discouraging was the inconsistency in performance recognition. Just three days before my termination, I had received an award for quality performance. However, I was later terminated for “call avoidance” after transferring a call to another department, despite the fact that I had already spent over 30 minutes assisting the member. Overall, the experience caused a tremendous amount of stress, frustration, and emotional exhaustion. Working in such a heavily monitored environment with limited support and constant pressure made it extremely difficult to succeed comfortably. For anyone considering this company, I would encourage you to carefully weigh the work environment, expectations, and stress levels before making a decision.
