Good People, Compensation Lacking

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid group of coworkers. Supervisors and managers were all easy to work with.

Cons

Training is minimal and you’re often forced to perform tasks you’re not trained for. While this isn’t terrible, it is extremely time consuming and negatively affects your case time. Additionally, despite the company emphasis on completing a certain number of cases per shift, there is little compensation for efficiency. Customer service reps are responsible for a wide variety of different tasks.

Where Innovation & Marketing go to die.....

Business Outlook

Pros

Good amount of diversity in the lower worker bees.

Cons

Spreadsheet "marketing", medical products management lacking in imagination and vision with slow-follower mentality. A ton of bureaucracy and the legal team is a nightmare to work with and get bent out of shape too easily.

Pros

-Overall nice people - this is a good place to work if you are trying to start/build/maintain a family. The job is easy, hours are <40 a week and people never expect you to work weekends. You also will not truly grow as a professional- you will be stagnant. It just depends on what you want in your life.

Cons

-They pick and choose who they want to support. Some people were allowed to work remote yet other people were told they had to leave the company if they tried. -Job is not challenging at all, you will not grow. When you bring up innovative ideas they will be shut down if they seem even at all complicated. So many projects are started and not finished. There is so much discontinuity - when someone leaves a role, they leave with all the expertise. -Middle management is questionable - people are always wondering why XYZ is a director or VP. There are some great executive leaders but that’s not who you interact with everyday. Not one time did I have a role where there wasn’t at least one VP or Director who was broadly disliked - one was very sexist, another made inappropriate comments and lacked social cues. -Lack of diversity. CAH boasts about the awards they have won but they are THAT company that applies for awards and has their employees answer the surveys. It truly doesn’t have that much diversity- you’ll realize this after you leave. If you are Asian you have very few people to look up to. -Marketing roles are actually project management and you focus more on putting out fires due to all of the back orders and recalls. -Compensation is lower than most in columbus but then again you will work 35-40 hours max
