eHealth reviews

The bonus structure for busy season feels a bit goal-heavy. However, with the ability to work overtime it is still achievable. Also, the licensing department needs more help. Once you are certified you shouldn't be waiting multiple weeks to have carriers unlocked. I attribute this to lack of staffing which is being worked on.

So much time, money and effort are put into the training program but absolutely no effort is made to keep valuable people. Business 101 "Turnover = costs the company money." Compensation (commission or as they call it bonus) package is TERRIBLE no wonder its kept "secret" until you've been there for two months. Base pay is $15 per hour. During nine months of the year sales are very slow which makes it very difficult to support your family on your piddly income. The commission scale is ridiculously low as compared to working at other insurance brokerage firms. AND they lower the commission scale during the AEP time which is the only 3 months during the year you have an opportunity to make a living wage. eHealth keeps the majority of new business money and 100% of renewal money. The sales staff are professional level people and deserve to be paid accordingly. It is no wonder people move on so quickly - they leave for better pay and to be treated like adults by people who want them to succeed. If your employees succeed the company succeeds.
