Pros

Helping seniors understand and choose the right Medicare plan offers a sense of doing good.. Job is easy to get. Work is easy once you learn the process.

Cons

Temps are second-class employees. Management is unprofessional. Very little communication of what is required to advance. People are let go suddenly without rhyme or reason.

Pros

The team I worked with were hard working. You were able to leave on time and there was no requirement to work weekends.

Cons

There was no training given at all, even if they new that you had no previous experience in any role similar. When you asked for some it was not given. The managers were dismissive and appeared not to care for their employees. The lunch break was meant to be an hour, this was cut to 15-20 mins if they were feeling generous. If they felt that you call turn around time was not within the two minuet target (very hard when you get lonely pensioner on the phone, or a difficult and complicated case) then disciplinary action would be taken. The pay was not very good. It all felt very impersonal and you did not feel valued, if you did a good job there would be no recognition. Overall it was poor, and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. All associates who join our pensions administration and contact centre teams now go on a full induction before being placed on a team to ensure they have a good understanding of their role.

Pros

Great place to start out and gain new skills. Good exam support and general training. Highly intelligent and motivated co-workers who are willing to train on the job. Fun office environment. Lots of events to take part in, and friendly co-workers. Flexible hours; doesn't matter when you leave/come in, as long as you meet your billable goals. Pay is so-so. Easy to advance in pay quickly if you can pass exams, but pay levels off once you are designated.

Cons

No work life balance. Expect minimum 45 hours per week, sometimes 60 or more. Unrealistic billable hour targets. Demotivating, because performance considered high elsewhere is only average here. Very stressful due to competing client demands, need to balance your time. Strong push to reduce hours to meet budgets, but very difficult to do the work in this time, which creates stress. Steep learning curve.
