WPP employs the MOST INCOMPETENT benefits administrator possible. Customer service is devoid of any service — their agents and systems are entirely clueless at all times. There is zero follow up, ever. Their “email correspondence” appears as a “no reply” sender name, with hardly a trace of information, so good luck finding it in your inbox. 🤬🤯 It takes MONTHS of self advocacy and countless frustrating calls to solve anything. The most impressively useless company I’ve ever dealt with.

Lol screw WPP. Its the most shrewd group and they screw everyone out of benefits

OP that’s benefits administration Everywhere. Why? Because benefits pay money out. Which if they don’t call you back, don’t get you an answer for a month or three, make it laborious or impossible to connect with them, they won’t have to do. They keep the money. That’s why they make it like that.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
