Pros

The pro was the day I left the company. It was as if the entire weight of the world had been removed from my shoulders.

Cons

eHealth Insurance is the very definition of a "zombie company"—a lifeless entity that somehow still staggers on, with zero regard for its employees or clients. If you're thinking about working for or doing business with this company, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place doesn’t just neglect its people; it shows outright disdain for them. A Toxic Culture of Disrespect From day one, it’s clear that eHealth Insurance doesn’t value its employees. The management sees staff as nothing more than numbers on a spreadsheet, easily replaceable and utterly disposable. They foster a toxic work environment filled with intimidation, micromanagement, and a complete lack of support. There's no investment in employee development, no encouragement, and certainly no appreciation. Instead, there is a pervasive atmosphere of fear and frustration. Discriminatory Practices What’s worse, eHealth Insurance has a well-known history of mistreating employees based on disability and sexual orientation. This company’s disregard for basic human rights is appalling. Employees with disabilities are often overlooked for opportunities and are not given the accommodations they need to succeed. Those who identify as LGBTQ+ face outright discrimination, from being passed over for promotions to enduring a hostile work environment filled with harassment and bigotry. Management turns a blind eye to these issues, if not outright encourages them. Exploiting Clients for Profit Clients are treated no better. The company prioritizes profit over people, pushing high-margin plans that are often completely unsuitable for the clients’ actual needs. Their so-called "advisors" are just glorified sales agents, incentivized to prioritize commissions over customer care. There's no genuine effort to provide tailored, thoughtful advice—only a relentless push to sell, sell, sell. An Organization Without a Soul eHealth Insurance is a company without a soul. It has no ethics, no integrity, and no respect for the people it employs or the customers it pretends to serve. The only thing it cares about is the bottom line, and it’s willing to sacrifice its reputation, its workforce, and its clients to stay afloat. A Clear Warning To anyone considering working here or buying their services: stay away. This is not a company that will support you, value you, or even treat you with basic human decency. eHealth Insurance is a shambling, hollow organization that has no place in today’s world, and it’s only a matter of time before its unethical practices catch up with it.

Pros

Excellent Leadership and Team: My manager was incredibly supportive, motivating, and patient. He took the time to coach me even when I struggled with my numbers. Great Work Culture: The internal team environment was fun, collaborative, and highly engaging. Strong Incentives: The company offers a great points-based reward system that allows you to earn cool items based on performance. Positive Separation: Management gave me every opportunity to succeed, and I was able to leave on excellent terms with the team. Also the traing was fun and they invest in you and really give people a chance to make it

Cons

Cons Challenging Customer Base: Dealing with a specific client demographics (including high-stress compliance calls) Highly Difficult Customer Base: Dealing with ( VERY SPECIFIC) class of customer demographic was incredibly challenging. Callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and abusive, which took a major toll on morale. The callers were frequently impatient, demanding, and ungrateful. Rigid Compliance Metrics: The quality assurance guidelines are overly strict. If a rushed customer makes you miss a single word during a disclosure, you are marked down or forced to restart the script from the beginning, And its pages of word for word questions creating immense emotional stress if you miss a single word like "and or will or may"it makes it harder when someones telling you hurry common and hufing and puffing really inapropriate and having to start over ask the same questions making the customer more impatient and intense pressure on you as angent...after this experience im so grateful when i talk to a nice stranger no matter where it is over the phone or in person bc these customer really did a number on my emotions for months i know not everyone can be so entitled in this world so i left not bc the company but becaus the customers and ive worked in high stressful envirmonets but never delt with this specific group of people. .Lead Quality: Many of the leads felt like random cold calls rather than qualified prospects, making it much harder to hit sales targets.

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.
