Business Outlook
Pros
Good pay and bonuses. Extra $2 per hour pay for bilingual Eng/Span sales. Contracted in my case to Optum, Inc. in Centennial,Colorado. Optum, in turn, is owned by big United Health Group along with Optum Rx and United Healthcare. A client of Optum -- a sales and customer care company -- is Kaiser Permanente. I sold both KP Affordable Care Act Individual and Family health plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), as well as KP Senior Advantage (Part D Medicare Advantage) plans.
Cons
Optum now recruits using PSW as a contractor to find the seasonal Open Enrollment Period and Annual Enrollment Period (MA plans) salws agents. Big layoffs after enrollment periods mean no guaranteed permanent employment. Also, PSW does not offer any benefits.
