Pros

You work at the Willis Tower.

Cons

EVERYTHING. They micro manage you like you’re in high school. They tell you that you get 30 minutes of personal but they don’t tell you that includes your bathroom breaks. Management is horrible, they promote from within, but all the managers before never wanted to actually become managers. They just wanted to get off the phones. This company no longer cares about their clients at all. Submitting clients with dementia, taking people off their Medicaid plan when they need the food card benefit and making clients medications more expensive.. all just for the numbers. The pay structure is completely backwards. The company gets paid once an application is approved by CMS, managers get paid on applications submitted and agents get paid on applications retained. Care to know how much time you get during the day to do retention? Zero. They tell you to just take more and more inbounds. So we can’t even make sure we’re getting paid on our applications submitted. If you’re reading this and thinking to yourself “is it really that bad there?” It is and don’t even try it for yourself. Company employee retention is horrible. People get hired and quit within a couple months, sometimes a few weeks (not joking); it’s for a reason. There is no fun here at all and all they care about are the numbers. Horrible to see. Adam, I’m sorry you were fooled to buy Healthworks insurance. This place is a joke and that’s why everyone is unhappy here. When you visit June 11th, they’re going to put on a show and pretend we’re one big happy family. Numbers don’t lie and results don’t lie. This review will probably be buried by the fake five star reviews.

Pros

Strong company culture focused on taking care of employees and clients. Excellent place to work, as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort.

Cons

Not necessarily a con. Still a relatively young, and growing firm that is building out structure.

Pros

The office is in a convenient location inside the Sears Tower and is well maintained. The sales floor is genuinely diverse, with people of different ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. You'll find everyone from recent college graduates to career changers and seasoned professionals. The atmosphere can be energetic and even fun at times, with music playing and plenty of conversation around the office.

Cons

Micromanagement was a huge issue during my time here. The reviews mentioning timed bathroom breaks and strict expectations around phone availability were consistent with my experience. It often felt like every minute of the day was being monitored. Most of the people I spoke with weren't just seniors—they were some of the most vulnerable people I've ever worked with, including individuals dealing with dementia, mental illness, physical disabilities, or serious financial hardship. Even in those conversations, there was constant pressure to push forward with the sales process instead of taking the extra time those situations sometimes deserved. I also found that speaking up or questioning decisions wasn't encouraged. If you weren't willing to go along with management without much pushback, it could affect how you were treated. In my experience, some interactions with sales and program managers felt unprofessional and, at times, verbally aggressive. If you're genuinely interested in getting into the Medicare industry, you can definitely gain experience here, but I'd treat it as a stepping stone rather than somewhere to build a long-term career. There are better brokerages out there, and if staying in the industry is your goal, I'd recommend exploring those instead.
