Svantaggi
I went to work for an overseas company who uses Manpower to process payroll and expense reports and administer benefits. During the hiring process I asked for details on health insurance so I would know how to go about salary negotiations with the overseas employer. Long story short, Manpower sent me documentation prior to starting with them stating that my insurance premiums would total $5145 annually should I go to work through them. After going to work for them and waiting out the mandatory 85 day waiting period to become eligible for insurance they informed me that my annual premiums for that same plan would actually total $29934. Essentially I was expected to take a $25k pay cut within 3 months of starting. Immediately upon asking what had happened, Manpower went into 'cover our tracks' mode and essentially told me that I should have known better than to trust the numbers that were sent to me initially and that they weren't willing to put any effort into rectifying the situation. At the end of the day I ended up with a plan from the public exchange that provided half the coverage they promised for twice the cost they initially offered. One thing I observed while shopping for insurance on the public exchange (in my state at least) is that in order to qualify for certain plans they ask you if you have the option to get reasonable insurance through your employer. They define reasonable plans as 1) costing less than 8% of your income and 2) covering more than 60% of an average person's needs. Manpower offers 2 plans to associates. One of them is so outrageously expensive that it won't meet the affordability criteria for anyone making less than $300k. The other doesn't provide any coverage for emergency care, hospital visits, etc. and so won't meet the coverage criteria. Manpower's health insurance plans have been designed so that they can advertise that they offer insurance while simultaneously forcing you to go elsewhere for coverage once you're on board. Another minor observation is that the expense reporting system is very archaic. To even be able to watch the training video on how to use it you need to have Flash player, which is a media player that went end of life about 5 years ago. The last posted update on the system is from 2017 when they announced the introduction of a mobile app. The mobile app requires a passcode that nobody at Manpower will give out anymore because the app doesn't work.
