Pros

The only pro is that you get to work remotely.

Cons

You will be overworked while being underpaid. After about 2 months on the phone for one client, they threw me into training to take calls for another client. I went from taking 30 calls a day to taking almost 100. The calls were back to back and extremely overwhelming. I spoke with my manager and HR to see if I can stop taking calls for the added client and they basically told me “most people work for 5 clients, you’re lucky it’s only 2.” I asked if I could get a raise since I learned new skills with this new client and they said no. Raises are only given if you meet their ridiculous adherence and performance policies. This company does not care about their employees at all. The turnover rate is so high. I’ve been employed with them going on 2 years and from my 30 person training class only 3 of us remain.

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.
