If I could I would give negative rating. Stay away if you can, or run away once you can take your pension with you.
EY is using Alight to offer Better You benefits and also "Firm managed" pension plan. As many stated, what EY was thinking?! The customer service, the management, the level of technology, the qualification of personnel - everything screams THESE GUYS ARE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. I wasted 3 months trying to get my pension from them after I terminated my employment. Calling them is pain. Making appointments - is waste of time, they can call you 20 min after appointment time, after few rings - they will hang up to never call back. They schedule in CT time, but then call you in ET time. To make matters worse, they cannot manage a simple transaction of direct rollover. I requested my roll over to be done to Fidelity. They told me I'll will have to wait 6-8 weeks (!) after my employment's termination. Then they made an attempt to make a transfer to fidelity that was coded as "contribution" (!) (Which would put me at odds with IRS. Thanks God, Fidelity rejected that transfer. Then, 3 weeks later they sent me a check (even thought I requested a direct transfer). This check was written into my name, but not for deposit at Fidelity, but some kind of local bank in Missouri (and I live in Michigan). I spent about 5 hours in total on the calls with Alight customer rep, last time I spoke with them - the guy wasn't able to even tell me what would be the name the check is to be issued into. He tried to read it 3 times and each time it was something else. My advice - if you have an option to keep money with Alight till your pension, or take them with you - don't even think twice. Take them while you can. 20 years later these clowns will easily tell you they have no records of your pension and don't owe you a dime.
