Pros

I worked at Prime as a Clinical Review Technician for 2.5 years. I enjoyed the work at first and felt that it was fulfilling and important work (since we were processing Prior Authorizations to hopefully approve them). Prime provided some good benefits. Up to 156 hours of PTO and increases after a certain tenure. Depending on performance (whether you met the company goals and production expectations) you could qualify for an annual financial bonus. They converted to WFH after the 2020 pandemic shutdown, which I really appreciated since it provided more of a work/life balance for me. Hourly pay is better compared to other similar data entry roles.

Cons

Prime offshored some positions in the line of business I worked in. The explanation that we were given was that this would save the company money from hiring through 3rd party temp agencies and help retain more talent (less turnover), or something to that extent. This was very demoralizing for my team and for many of the techs overall because we felt like we were kept out of the loop and felt that our opinions did not matter. Because of that company decision though, we are overstaffed and the company regularly gives VTO (voluntary time off), but still expects techs to adhere to arbitrary production goals. During my last year working, my mental and emotional health took a dip and I became really burnt out from the constant micromanaging. I had really high quality work, and thought the job itself was fine, but felt that the relationship between supervisors and techs were superficial. Decisions being made at the highest level were impacting us technicians. While they care very much about member satisfaction and client satisfaction, they neglect our input on how to improve communication on process changes, policy changes, and production expectations. I would recommend this job to someone who doesn't mind micromanaging, likes WFH, and doesn't mind repetitive work that sometimes needs some problem solving or collaboration.

Pros

- VTO during non-peak season - Mandatory and Voluntary OT during peak season - Few calls per day - personable employees

Cons

- it’s nearly impossible to get hired on full-time. - as a contractor, you have no benefits and can’t partake in any of the company events or even give kudos to your colleagues. - the metrics are somewhat doable, but there are many technicalities that cause them to mess up a lot of the time. - Two months prior to being fired without warning, I was under the impression I was on a written warning, and not a final but was told I would get a follow up email letting me know about it and I never got that email. I did persist and ask about it a few weeks later and still had no follow up. - if you are a contractor, they will look for anything in your performance to fire you as soon as the peak season is over. A colleague was fired that same week due to suspicion of them having a mouse mover with no evidence provided. -I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for two months straight with no days off until they made it mandatory to have at least one day off per week. - two days prior to me getting fired, in a meeting I was told that everything was looking great and that I was fine. It’s very odd how that tune changed abruptly.
