Pros

The positions are fully remote. That’s it.

Cons

There’s an alert on Bloom’s landing page that explicitly states Glassdoor has evidence they are faking reviews. I fully believe the good reviews on here are inflated by Bloom, come from people who are favorites, or who make Bloom their entire personality. Pay was too low for the amount of work, metrics, and oversight involved. People with 10, 15, 20 years of customer service experience were paid less than McDonald’s employees. Recruiters lied about the opportunities - or lack thereof - to get a wage increase. Managers picked favorites, so there were times when people would ask for help or request their lunch break and be ignored, while others received immediate answers. It was embarrassing as grown adults to have to for ask permission to use the bathroom in our own homes. Not everyone got the opportunity to get licensed, which meant a lot of reps weren’t able to legally answer customer questions while making less money than others on the team. Full time hours were cut down to barely anything. Imagine logging in to your schedule and suddenly seeing 2 days instead of 5 with no warning. Managers would just reduce hours without telling you. We later found out that too many people were hired and the way the company chose to fix their mistake, was to cut full timers who were already trained and working for months. Only select people received offers to keep their jobs at the end of enrollment, regardless of performance or quality scores. Favorites and suck ups got offers. Those who didn’t were told in a public forum, not privately, that they’d have to apply to their role again and fight for their job. So humiliating and dehumanizing.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Lowest paying insurance agency in the valley. Management thinks they own you. They want warm bodies and robots, not licensed professionals. Upper management has absolutely no clue what they're doing. The only sales opportunity is AEP, then they put you on OB with no bonuses. They treat everyone like kindergarteners and don't respect the license. Points accrued for being seconds late that will keep you from succeeding. They will burn you out and let you go.

Pros

None, period. I’ve been in the insurance and financial services industry for over 25 years. Bloom is the most unethical company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Unethical hiring practices, and misrepresent to clients and Supervisors that they will be working with senior Agents that are actually brand new to Medicare and have no experience selling Medicare plans. Sharing user names and passwords to access CMS government website to obtain personally identifiable information (PII) such as Medicare IDs, Dates of Birth, Home Addresses of clients in a non secure environment with thousands of these records not disposed of after use. HUGE information security risk. Warning, if you are new to Medicare, work for a company that puts a priority on training and testing your knowledge. This form of insurance is highly regulated by the government, and you need to understand the specific rules and regulations involved in enrolling someone in these plans. You can lose your license you worked so hard for, and worse, you can severely impact someone’s life leaving them without the healthcare services they so desperately need. This company is not worth your time or soul, stay away.
