Pros

benefitsCONNECT has the energy of a start-up with the experience of a seasoned company. The atmosphere allows employees to take ownership and leadership within their role. What I love about this organization is the room for advancement and growth. Promotions and new opportunities are awarded from within the organization. If you want more responsibility or a new role, the transition is easy and welcomed with open arms. The employer healthcare industry is thriving and as a technology vendor, benefitsCONNECT is at the epicenter of it all. The fully-stocked kitchen is such a nice and generous perk! We can connect with employees and make breakfast, lunch or a quick snack. We have monthly activities for team-building and corporate events for holidays and birthdays! Employees can work out during lunch breaks (with their gym membership benefit) and stay in our workout clothes. The culture promotes healthy lifestyles and the importance of working out to maintain positive attitudes and strong mental health. The CEO is the biggest advocate for employee well-being and leads the charge for our wellness initiatives. He is experienced, talented and kind. He is a true leader and visionary. He is firm when he has to be - but always fair.

Cons

A fast growing company will encounter challenges. benefitsCONNECT is growing and needs strong, resilient and talented players along for the ride. A con is that we are outgrowing our current procedures, but the good news is that our leadership is working to enhance these processes for the benefit of our clients and employees.

Pros

I've been with the company for several years now and feel like I've been given a huge opportunity in developing my career. I owe Troy and many members of the management team at bC a debt of gratitude for giving me this opportunity and experience. If you work hard, stay honest and sincere, you are guaranteed to succeed at benefitsCONNECT.

Cons

It's frustrating to see some of these reviews - I don't understand how people can have such a huge misinterpretation of bC. It's too bad Glassdoor gives the option to be anonymous - I somehow doubt there would be a third of these reviews if people didn't have something to hide behind.

Pros

Most of the employees are fun to work with. Office location is convenient to restaurants.

Cons

Management is just awful. I mean, really awful. They are in the old school mindset of top down micromanaging. Any dissent or proposals to do things better are immediately crushed. There are also cliques among some managers and frontline staff. A very high school vibe. I think the root cause is that these people end up managers because they are the only ones willing to stick around long enough to have the opportunity. Management by default. The support team was far too lean when I was there (probably still is). Also, though they are a software company, the development and EDI teams were also too lean. Yet marketing and sales had plenty of people, many of which seemed to be twiddling their thumbs most of the time. Sad. There is a lot of critical talk here on Glassdoor regarding the CEO, Troy Underwood. Much of it is true, he is a narcissist with an odd sense of humor, but I actually think he means well. Problem is he is surrounded by "yes" men and women. This only fuels the ego.
