Pros

Good in office culture, lots of amenities, gave back to the community during the pandemic, very organized on-boarding segment. The trainer was phenomenal and the setting in the office is very abstract and progressive. They even give you a laptop on your first day. The managers were pretty flexible during the transition to completely remote because of Covid 19. The benefits were very good and the food trucks that came each day were amazing.

Cons

Maybe things are different outside of the call center but I will never know. When you are a part of ACS, you are another seat that they remind you can easily be replaced. The job description is not nearly the same as what you will actually be doing. The portal itself is rudimentary and the updates it needs never reaches the ears of the higher ups. They change the metrics that you need to keep up with and they are nearly impossible with all the new troubleshooting traffic. I was hired on and told there would be a raise after 90 days. They then told us 30 days out of training. Almost 7 months in and they said it was at the discretion of your supervisor. None of this was in the official documentation. People started leaving in droves the likes of which I have never seen. The company did not address the higher than normal turnover rate and instead just keep hiring on new classes of employees. When they talk about moving up, they don't tell you that you need to be in with the right crowd.

We agree with you about our culture. It is vital to everything that we do as an organization. It sounds like things started well for you, but somewhere along the way, there may have been some miscommunication, which is regrettable. We strive for clear communication and expectations from day one because we want everyone who joins our organization to have a clear path to success. Availity Client Services is often the first point of contact our customers have, so we put a lot of effort into ensuring our call center associates clearly understand the expectations of the job and get the training and feedback they need. We want you to be successful in your role and grow a career with us. Performance and quality metrics are critical to this process. They open up future opportunities, including pay increases in an associate's current role or promotion to other positions within ACS or throughout the company. We regularly solicit our associate's feedback and encourage suggestions for improvement. Many of the tools in place today were implemented or improved as a direct result of feedback from a Client Services associate. COVID-19 has led to unprecedented times, and we acknowledge that we have experienced higher than normal attrition in ACS. However, our business volume has continued to increase, allowing us to consistently offer employment opportunities and bring on new associates while other industries are experiencing hiring freezes or even layoffs. Our company was able to shift quickly in response to COVID-19 concerns by allowing every associate to work from home. While not always an ideal situation for everyone, we feel it is the best way for us to keep our associates safe, which is a top priority here at Availity. Thanks again for your feedback, and while this role may not have been the right fit for you, we wish you much success in the future.

Thanks for every one of those 4 stars and for taking the time to provide this feedback on our Client Services training program. The leader who oversees our Client Services, mentioned needing to improve our onboarding and training process for call center associates, so good things are in the works! Stay with us.

Pros

People are friendly and the work is engaging and there seems to be generally career growth at this company. They do offer unlimited PTO however it will depend on your work load on how much time you can take a time. The building is really nice also.

Cons

While I understand that some jobs require some days of overtime Availity takes it to new heights it won’t matter to them much to have you work all 7 days a week until 12 am or 2am or 7pm on a weekend also logging 60hrs is almost commonplace. These off hour tasks that are done at that time in other companies are reserved for specific release management teams not everybody on a project team actions like this make me feel like they don’t actually respect me as a person or as an employee. These types of things will go on after you log 56-60hrs of work in 5 days. So the work life balance is exactly that your work is your life which isn’t sustainable I will have to warn any friends I have of this practice before I can ever feel comfortable endorsing the company as a good place to work. This type of balance is going to have to get addressed I am not going to apologize for not being a “it’s a job” apologist there are way too many companies that don’t force this type of work load for the same pay for this to fly. As an added bonus the benefits package are geared towards what seem like college kids not adults good luck with coverage costs if you have a family.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We can write a long response, or we can just cut to the chase. We respect our associates and we want everyone to have a healthy work/life balance. We do not want you working the hours you have listed here. Something broke, and you need to speak up in a way that lets us do something about it. Not only do we want you to be healthy and refreshed, but we don’t want you to burn out. PLEASE work with your manager and/or your HRBP so that we can identify real solutions to finding a balance that works for you and your team—these types of discussions are welcome and encouraged. Let’s fix this!
