Vantaggi

I made great friends in some of my coworkers. Benefits.

Svantaggi

I've never been micromanaged more in any position. Ever. Productivity scores are the sole determining factor of your worth as an employee but it's nearly impossible to hit those goals when the system is complete garbage. Constant slow downs lead to tasks taking 4-5x longer than they should but no adjustment for Productivity. Core values are an absolute joke. They used to be true. Now it's only about how much you can get done without regard to how great you are at serving the pet parents. Leads lie to your face and play favorites. Outsourcing to Philippines made so much more work for US based workers because we had to fix their errors repeatedly and are told that they're really great for business. Claims are messed up constantly because the outsourced employees can't do their jobs correctly. I considered it a win if I didn't cry more than 4 times in a week because the stress level was unmanageable. I thought this was the company I'd be at for the rest of my working life. Instead I left beaten down by poor management, low pay rate, & awful customers. Bend over backwards to help the guy who threatened to bring a weapon to our office because we won't cancel his policy. Take constant abuse from entitled USAA members and then be told to smile while choking it all down. President Brian acts like the cheerleader type but in the same breath will remind the entire company that they are replaceable. But hey! He loves you if you're 'cranking' it.

Svantaggi

Since IPH acquired Embrace, employee morale has steadily declined. Many of the positive aspects of working here have been eliminated. Benefits were reduced, the majority of the IT department was laid off, and holiday bonuses were discontinued. Employees were told that although our PTO was being reduced, we would now have a company-wide “Wellness Day” as part of the new benefits. We were specifically informed that all IPH companies would be closed on July 2 and July 3, with July 2 designated as our Wellness Day. Then, about six weeks ago,management sent an email stating that those promised Wellness Days had been revoked and employees would be expected to work after all. Experiences like this have made it difficult to trust leadership. Repeated changes to promised benefits and perks have left many employees feeling undervalued and disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value hearing from current and former team members, even when perspectives differ from our own. We also recognize that transitions following an acquisition can be experienced differently by different employees. We would like to specifically address the feedback regarding the Wellness Day and provide additional context. When operational needs in parts of our business required a change to the originally planned company closure to support our pet parents, team members were informed well in advance and provided with several options designed to ensure they did not lose time off or compensation. Employees who worked those days received holiday pay, plus pay for hours worked, and a choice between a cash bonus or two additional paid days off. This approach gave employees the flexibility to use PTO when it was most meaningful and convenient for them, rather than on dates selected by the company. Additionally, team members with existing plans or scheduling conflicts were accommodated, and engagement activities and incentive opportunities were offered during that period. Many employees in the departments affected chose to work and take advantage of the additional compensation and flexibility provided. It's also important to note that this change did not impact all employees company-wide; it applied only to certain operational areas that regularly support business needs outside of traditional business hours. We understand that trust is earned through consistent communication and actions. While not every decision will be viewed the same way by every employee, our goal remains to create a workplace that supports flexibility, work-life balance, professional growth, and open dialogue. We remain committed to listening to employee feedback and continuously evolving to meet the needs of our people and our business. We appreciate your contributions and wish you continued success.
