Account Manager at Gallagher Benefit Services
in Carmel, IN

What do you like about working at Gallagher Benefit Services?

"I liked my job: helping clients and finding solutions to their problems."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Run!!! Don't do it. Unless you are a squeaky wheel and care about nothing but yourself and complaining about your co-workers, you will get run over."

What don't you like about working at Gallagher Benefit Services?

"Very cliquish. New employees brought in with merger partners are given the red carpet treatment, while those employees that have been there 5+ years were tossed aside like nothing. You don't get ahead by working hard. As long as the boss likes you, you are golden. The supervisor does not like confrontation so troublemakers are allowed to steamroll over those that are trying to work as a team."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would make all employees feel important. This particular office had certain favorites that we're allowed to work the hours they chose while others were put on probation for tardiness. Some were also allowed to work from home, while others that had documented health issues, were harassed for requesting to work from home occasionally."

Account Manager at MDeverywhere
in Hauppauge, NY

What do you like about working at MDeverywhere?

"I enjoyed working with a team of professionals who were very helpful teaching me billing and coding practices and procedures including regulations. I enjoyed working from home, and enjoyed building strong relationships with my clients and coworkers."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"When I was hired I was told I would travel to New York to compnay headquarters for 3 rounds of training. I was only able to travel once and didn't receive all of my training. 2 months before my lay-off I received training on a software, and after I was trained, this software saved me so much time, it was really frustrating to know I could have been more efficient if I had been trained sooner. I asked for the training multiple times and my boss told me it wasn't important, but I disagree with that. I think the more you know about your job, the better you are at doing it. I left there feeling I did my best, and my clients and coworkers still call me and email me, so I feel I was successful in building trust with those I worked with."

What don't you like about working at MDeverywhere?

"Because the company was having financial issues they were unable to pay for the trips I would have made to see my clients. I had clients in 5 states and only saw the clients in Ohio, where I lived at the time. I felt it hindered me, and made the client feel they were not important to the company. Even though I was committed to calling them daily and emailed multiple times each day, I often heard complaints that clients were promised at the time of go-live contract that they would have monthly visits and as their PM, I was unable to make these trips. They were also promised visits from upper management and some of my clients never once met anyone in upper management, even thought they were with the company for over 2 years."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Upper management needs to make sure to visit all clients at least monthly, and call them more frequently. This is critical in building relationships and trust in order to make sure they know they are all important to the company, no matter what they are being invoiced for MDE services. I also feel MDE's IT department needs to be strengthened, with folks who can work with multiple different interfaces, as my clients had issus with this and sometimes it took 2-3 weeks to resolve, once because the interface guy was on vacation. It was difficult to build trust when this happened. Lastly, the training program should be done remotely to save the comapny the expense of flying employees multiple time to New York."

Account Manager at Priority Business Services
in Irvine, CA

What do you like about working at Priority Business Services?

"Great culture and atmosphere. It was a very challenging company to work for with very high levels of expectations. They provided great resources and allowed you to expenses any other resources that were not available."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be mindful of what the current fair market value is paying for job the services that is being provided. Also, do you see growth in the company Where do you see yourself in the next year, 3 years, 5 years."

What don't you like about working at Priority Business Services?

"Extremely low pay and commissions for the profit I generated to the company. The CEO was always up one day and down the next and because of this it limited the growth of the companies department and company as a whole. The company also had a very high level of turn over. Lastly, there was no position for upward movement within the company."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would have suggested two things. The first is increase and incentive the employees. Second was separate roles such as Sales, Recruiting, and Account Management. The company never had a full time recruiter on staff for our department. Sales was always the number one focus and because of that many positions went unfilled to our competitors."
