No strategy, no vision, no direction

Pros

I truly enjoy some of my colleagues. There are a few people left who actually care about the company and want to do their best. There are many talented people, passionate people, who are not given an environment to thrive to their fullest potential.

Cons

Top level leadership has no vision, no strategy. We are pimped out to the highest bidder for every shiny new object that comes into somebody's mind. No business justification for taking on work, product team just says "yes" to everything. The product team is nothing more than order takers and they don't own, drive or innovate any of the products. People are not empowered, they are held down, held back. They are stifled. Crappy people are hiring clones of themselves further polluting the organization. Resistance to improvement or any kind of positive change. No learning opportunity, no growth.

Worst career experience ever

Pros

Cool office space & location; some smart people

Cons

The whole place was ruled by favoritism and working to the lowest common denominator. Leadership was by CYA and anyone who tried to really make positive strides forward was shot down hard. It was the most toxic and negative environment I had ever experienced in multiple decades in the workforce. Even with serious challenges presented to them, they were resistant to new ideas and VPs and up only seemed to like the folks who pandered to them instead of the ones who had actual ideas and experience to back it up. As a culture and what WebMD Health Services is all about, it gave nothing but lip service to it all. It did not cultivate its people in any way.

Pros

Not too much to say here- no dress code, full benefits and 401 k are great, paid sick and vacation and paid time off

Cons

A lot to say here - first of all you're not a health coach you're a telemarketer, the company cares More about getting more calls and making numbers rather than the actually health of the client, you're a robot and saying the same things on every call and shortening your calls to get more calls in because the productivity rate is continuing to increase to where we can't move from our seats for more than 20 minutes in a 10 hour shift - (kinda ironic considering this is a health and wellness company) .. They don't do hardly anything regarding helping the community at all- don't get me started on management- they are hiring their own friends within the company to help run a business and have no idea what they're doing, they are offering non paid time off on top of voluntary and mandatory overtime and are wondering why they're so behind and killing the coaches which everything gets blamed on, it's extremely micro managing here and not flexible or friendly what so ever it's actually the most toxic work place I've ever worked in
