Pros

Good pay if you work for it

Cons

Saw the massive layoffs coming and quit 2 months before. Business model is very flawed. They were doing much lower in sales then expected due to agents getting paid off of switching current costumers to a different plan (making the company nothing but agents getting commission) instead of rewarding agents with commission when costumers stay with current insurance plan for another year. Marketing was getting more and more unethical. Make no mistake this is a COLD CALLING job. Sure, you sometimes you have call in's/people generally interested but the other times you're getting sworn at because we had called them 10 times in a row. The people that are doing the most sales are either using unethical sales tactics or persuading them to switch when it is not in their benefit. I talked to way too many costumers that got completely screwed by other sales agents. If you have a conscious and care about people having access to affordable healthcare look for another agency or in another sales field entirely.

Pros

eHealth RevOps offers a fast-paced environment with strong exposure to healthcare operations, commissions, and cross-functional collaboration. The work is meaningful and provides opportunities to build analytical, problem-solving, and process improvement skills. Teams are generally supportive, and there are opportunities to learn from peers with deep industry knowledge. The role provides hands-on experience with complex data, audits, and reconciliation processes, which is valuable for strengthening both operational and financial skill sets.

Cons

Leadership is a significant challenge. The Senior Director’s approach tends to be highly hands-on, which can limit autonomy and make it difficult for employees to feel fully trusted or supported in their roles. The environment can feel high-pressure rather than growth-oriented. At the Senior Manager level, there are concerns around consistency, professionalism, and fairness. Communication style can come across as overly direct or discouraging at times, and there are perceptions of favoritism that impact team morale and overall engagement. There are also gaps in leadership presence and support. 1:1 meetings are frequently canceled, and team members often need to rely on other leaders for guidance. While tracking and reporting are maintained, there is limited hands-on support, coaching, and clear direction for the team. Training is another challenge. Onboarding often relies on current employees who are expected to maintain their full workload, creating a high-pressure environment with little room for error. This makes it difficult for new hires to ramp up effectively and confidently. Overall, these factors can make it challenging for employees to feel supported, develop professionally, and operate with clarity and confidence.
