Pros

Most everyone embodies the "Smiles for Everyone" culture. It is overwhelmingly a very pleasant and positive place to work. The culture starts at the top with Steve Bilt and trickles down all throughout the organization. Comp and benefits are competitive though probably not at the top of the market. All in all a wonderful place to be. For the Irvine business support center, there are a lot of fun employee engagement events hosted by our engagement team. The location of the office is great and is right at Irvine Spectrum. It's even closer in walking distance to Spectrum than the other newer buildings.

Cons

No 401k matching. Not a huge con but just a noticeable one compared to other companies

Pros

Work from home provided flexibility, eliminated commuting time, and reduced daily expenses. Steady, predictable workload with clear procedures and expectations. Regular exposure to healthcare operations improved familiarity with insurance verification, scheduling, and patient communication. Developed strong customer service skills, especially de-escalation, empathy, and clear explanation of complex information. Consistent hours and structure supported routine and reliability.

Cons

High call volume and back-to-back interactions could be mentally draining. Strict metrics and performance monitoring. Repetitive nature of calls offered little variety or creative problem-solving. Emotional labor was significant when handling frustrated or anxious patients. Career advancement opportunities within the role itself were limited.
