Vantaggi

The team is amazing. The people in the company are hardworking and the only reason I've stayed as long as I have.

Svantaggi

Leadership hasn't learned to mature from an early-stage startup into a more mature phase of the company at the expense of its employees. The compensation and benefits are middling at best. The vision just isn't there. Asking anyone in management why we are doing the things we're doing in one-on-ones always comes down to "LT wants it, so we have to." I'm ashamed of how Ethos handled their COVID-19 layoffs. They dismissed the individuals without any notice after being told for months that there would be no layoffs. From the ones I know personally, communication was almost non-existent as to why and they've been very tight-lipped with us as well. There is no honest differentiator between Ethos and its competitors.

Thanks for your review. Sorry you didn’t have a great experience at Ethos. While Ethos is still a startup, on the startup scale, Ethos is a mature and stable environment (you have to be realistic about what a startup's journey looks like) - and we’ve hired many mature and seasoned leaders within Ethos. In our most recent anonymous team survey, 85% of team members recommend, or strongly recommend, Ethos as a place to work to their friends - which is spectacular compared to a benchmark of peer tech companies. Obviously, we regret having to have laid team members off in early Covid as we saw impacts to our business, but we treated those team members fairly and they’ve since moved on to other opportunities, and Ethos has overcome those obstacles. None of our team members are in the office today (or have been since quarantine began), so I'm not sure what the office comment you're referring to is. You're always free to reach out to me if you feel like something is left unsaid. Peter@ethoslife.com Peter, CEO

Vantaggi

The managers are patient and are committed to helping this new team be successful. The benefits are some of the best offered by any employer. The people they hire are professional, respectful, and work well as a team.

Svantaggi

One suggestion I would offer is additional structured training for licensed agents in Expansion. As a licensed agent, one of the core principles that has shaped my work ethic is the importance of creating an exceptional client experience. I have always done this by staying educated and current on product changes, communicating effectively, and consistently following through on commitments I make to my clients. At Ethos, however, I received little to no formal training on the various products we offer, when one product may be more appropriate than another, or how to fully utilize our internal systems to best serve clients. While it has been encouraged that agents use AI as an initial resource for answers, this is not an ideal substitute for foundational training, and its lack of efficacy is detrimental to the goal of providing clients with confidence, clarity, and a seamless experience. Relying on AI for operational and product knowledge often requires significant time simply to ask the right questions, with no guarantee of receiving a complete or accurate answer with congruency. This creates inefficiency for agents and inconsistency for clients. If I were provided even one dedicated week of training on Ethos’ proprietary Salesforce processes, the agent portal, and the products within that system, I would be significantly more effective and successful in my role. More importantly, our clients would receive a stronger experience because I would be fully equipped to serve them at a higher level. I have seen colleagues who are highly effective with these systems and product knowledge, and their efficiency clearly contributes to stronger production and better client experiences. With the right training, I believe more agents could achieve that same level of productivity and customer experience.
