Working at WellCare Health Plans in West Palm Beach, FL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in West Palm Beach, FL Area

"I hope I get through to someone and then this review will be great."

What do you like about working at WellCare Health Plans?

"WellCare was perhaps the best job I have ever had.They always kept me informed and up to date in compliance and the product was the, in my opinion, best in the industry. Although there were many times I felt things done were not the most efficient or best way to go about it, I had my challenges and I enjoyed working there. I am independent now as I was before going to WellCare but if that company does come back, I would take them on as a carrier and be proud to sell their product. I feel they were handed a raw deal because they were in fact the best company in the industry. I left them because I couldn't sell a product that I felt was jeopardizing the stability of my client whom I always put first and I couldn't just take an income for which I couldn't work for. Such is not in my character."

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

"Just tell it like it is. No harts and flowers!!!!!"

What don't you like about working at WellCare Health Plans?

"There was too much ethnic tiering. Meetings that wasted a lot of time traveling to and from which could have been avoided by use of the computer. The advertisement dept. was very inefficient and the seminars were not properly planned out causing too often a no show of prospects."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I was a manager of consultants for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company many years ago and I found that building up an agent always worked better than tearing them down. Educating and helping them to grow is of utmost importance. I built a staff of 7 agents of which 5 of them I made million dollar producers in the mid sixties and that was quite an accomplishment. You don't do this by cutting them down nor do you accomplish anything by threatening their job. If they don't have the stuff to be successful, you set them free but if they have it, you nurture that and build them up. Pessimism never makes a good sales person."
