Pros

Competitive Pay. Really talented sales agents.

Cons

Over 8 years change is inevitable. However, what you saw over the last three years is Senior leadership aligning with new people that did not understand the Medicare space. As they made this shift, they moved out volumes of leaders in every department that had industry knowledge and care for culture. Many of these leaders have gone to competitors or created companies and are seeing great success in employee retention, customer retention and profits. Ehealth continually makes tenured employees scapegoats for issues that are caused by other people in the org that are protected for some reason. For example: Several sales leaders have lost their positions over the past two years. They were blamed for missing goal and wall street was told that the reason we missed was due to sales. No one acknowledged or replaced in Marketing when the phones weren't ringing or were ringing with low quality leads. In Sales, they removed several top leaders and replaced them with a gentleman that came in with a scorched earth policy to look good for a quarter. After 6 months and the cracks of this policy starting to show, he left and was replaced by his protégé that uses similar tactics. Now in Sales you are left with one or two leaders that understand the importance of culture and Human development. The rest of the team views employees as machines that need to turn out a specific number and no understanding of how to develop them to get there. You will see HR respond to this review saying they are proud of the culture and programs they offer. This has nothing to do with how employees are treated or how they feel about their leaders. The current regime is ruling by fear and as a former leader I am truly concerned about the mental health of that sales force. I sincerely hope that eHealth finds success and leaders that understand the value of people and find a balance of performance and human development. I care about those employees and want them to have a great place to work.

Pros

Excellent Leadership and Team: My manager was incredibly supportive, motivating, and patient. He took the time to coach me even when I struggled with my numbers. Great Work Culture: The internal team environment was fun, collaborative, and highly engaging. Strong Incentives: The company offers a great points-based reward system that allows you to earn cool items based on performance. Positive Separation: Management gave me every opportunity to succeed, and I was able to leave on excellent terms with the team. Also the traing was fun and they invest in you and really give people a chance to make it

Cons

Cons Challenging Customer Base: Dealing with a specific client demographics (including high-stress compliance calls) Highly Difficult Customer Base: Dealing with ( VERY SPECIFIC) class of customer demographic was incredibly challenging. Callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and abusive, which took a major toll on morale. The callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and ungrateful. Rigid Compliance Metrics: The quality assurance guidelines are overly strict. If a rushed customer makes you miss a single word during a disclosure, you are marked down or forced to restart the script from the beginning, And its pages of word for word questions creating immense emotional stress if you miss a single word like "and or will or may"it makes it harder when someones telling you hurry common and hufing and puffing really inapropriate and having to start over ask the same questions making the customer more impatient and intense pressure on you as angent...after this experience im so grateful when i talk to a nice stranger no matter where it is over the phone or in person bc these customer really did a number on my emotions for months i know not everyone can be so entitled in this world so i left not bc the company but becaus the customers and ive worked in high stressful envirmonets but never delt with this specific group of people. .Lead Quality: Many of the leads felt like random cold calls rather than qualified prospects, making it much harder to hit sales targets.

Pros

eHealth RevOps offers a fast-paced environment with strong exposure to healthcare operations, commissions, and cross-functional collaboration. The work is meaningful and provides opportunities to build analytical, problem-solving, and process improvement skills. Teams are generally supportive, and there are opportunities to learn from peers with deep industry knowledge. The role provides hands-on experience with complex data, audits, and reconciliation processes, which is valuable for strengthening both operational and financial skill sets.

Cons

Leadership is a significant challenge. The Senior Director’s approach tends to be highly hands-on, which can limit autonomy and make it difficult for employees to feel fully trusted or supported in their roles. The environment can feel high-pressure rather than growth-oriented. At the Senior Manager level, there are concerns around consistency, professionalism, and fairness. Communication style can come across as overly direct or discouraging at times, and there are perceptions of favoritism that impact team morale and overall engagement. There are also gaps in leadership presence and support. 1:1 meetings are frequently canceled, and team members often need to rely on other leaders for guidance. While tracking and reporting are maintained, there is limited hands-on support, coaching, and clear direction for the team. Training is another challenge. Onboarding often relies on current employees who are expected to maintain their full workload, creating a high-pressure environment with little room for error. This makes it difficult for new hires to ramp up effectively and confidently. Overall, these factors can make it challenging for employees to feel supported, develop professionally, and operate with clarity and confidence.
