Pros

1. Amazing co-workers who bend over backwards to help you, often to their own detriment. 2. Autonomy 3. Limited work from home capability

Cons

1. No work/life balance. The amount of work you will be expected to complete quickly becomes obscene, especially in 4th quarter. 2. You get a fair amount of vacation days but you aren't really on vacation since you are only hurting yourself if you take time off. I regret every day I take off when I return. 3. They only reward hard work with more hard work. If you are good at your job you will be loaded down with work until you reach your breaking point. 4. You get to watch a lot of your more experienced co-workers leave because they can get paid more to do less work at other companies...then guess what happens to their work load when they leave. Hope you enjoy more work. 5. Their training program is still far from ready--would get developed faster if they didn't make their trainers handle full client loads on top of their training responsibilities. 6. The sales force sells more work than we can realistically manage. The implementation timelines seem to be shrinking at an alarming rate as well. 7. They don't understand that not everything can be prioritized. EVERYTHING is a priority. Every client is a priority, every file, every request...be prepared for excessive overtime.

Pros

Remote work with base pay. Some PTO. Telesales with scripts and all inbound pre-made appointments.

Cons

First of all, I thankfully came from another Medicare agency where I learned the backbone of Medicare education because Alight did not educate the employees on the essentials of Medicare; so I'm glad I already had that foundation otherwise I would have spiraled right on out of that position right at the beginning. I never got paid the commission I was promised. The first phone interview stated that I would receive all commission as one lump sum by the end of March. So after working AEP (OCT through DEC) I was waiting patiently for the commission from nearly 200 enrollments I completed. In Jan, I received 50% of my expected commission and never saw the remainder 50% come through. I reached out to multiple people including my direct management with no response. This position was temporary for potential permanency, I was asked to stay on without clarity and it basically turned into customer service support (and occasional enrollments.) The customer service was extremely heavy from all of the agents who did not do a great job - a lot of unhappy customers were calling in at the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026. The amount of commission per enrollment was never given to me in writing, so I had to learn a lesson the hard way. I left in February.
