Most of us joined Zorro because we wanted to help fix some of the more complicated parts of the health insurance benefits system. We were looking for a place where we could take on massive industry challenges and actually see the needle move.
But while the mission is what brings us together, what keeps us here is the culture and community we’ve built while doing that work. A shared goal is important, but the real reason Zorro feels different is the way this team supports, challenges, and roots for one another every single day.
Zorro has been named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare!
In the healthcare world, this is a heavy-hitter list. Every year, Modern Healthcare looks at a range of companies across the country — from massive health systems to nimble tech startups — and selects just 150 that intentionally create a supportive employee culture.
What makes this recognition feel different than a typical industry award is how the winner is chosen. It isn’t a "pay-to-play" situation or a decision made by a remote panel of judges. In fact, 80% of our score came directly from an anonymous survey our own team took earlier this year. Essentially, we won because the people who work here said Zorro is worth showing up for.
What makes a "Zorrier"?
When we found out we made the list, we asked the team a simple question: Why do you love working here?
The answers didn't focus on the "Best Places" title itself. Most focused on the culture and community we’ve built.
"What makes working at Zorro special isn’t just the work itself — it’s the people. Being surrounded by teammates who care, support each other, and push one another to be better creates an environment where you genuinely want to show up and give your best. I love it here!! Zorro helps me sparkle!" — Maureen Genskow, Account Executive
That collaborative spirit is what helps us navigate the fast-paced nature of a startup.
"One of my favorite things about working at Zorro is how supportive and collaborative the team is. In Customer Success, every day is different, and I enjoy being able to help clients while continuing to grow in my role.” - Keisha Eddie, Customer Success Manager
For many of us, that support system turns colleagues into something more.
"My favorite thing about working at Zorro is the people. Some of my teammates have become some of my best friends and it makes working here much more enjoyable." — Logan Hold, Account Executive
We know that "loving where you work" also means feeling empowered to do your best work
Working in an industry as complex as healthcare requires intentionality. You have to be committed to consistent growth in every step of your career journey. So we pride ourselves on creating an environment where learning is constant and autonomy is a given.
"I love working at Zorro because we are set up for success. Our training and knowledge is curated to what is relevant to us at this time and what is going to help us the most. I may be biased, but our team is amazing!" — Taylor Ready, Account Executive
"People make or break your experience. At Zorro, I work with the best team I have ever worked with. I'm also grateful for a very experienced leadership team that challenges me and empowers me every day. As a sales leader, I feel like I am being given the opportunity to work autonomously and build my own sub-culture within the organization." — Jeff Kirchick, VP of Sales
One team united under an audacious mission
At Zorro, the "mission" isn’t just a line in an employee handbook or a poster on a wall. It’s the actual gravity that keeps the team moving forward through the complexities of the healthcare system.
"I spent years limited by employer group plans, and I always wondered why we let companies make such personal life choices for us. That’s why I’m at Zorro. I love being on the cutting edge of ICHRA because it brings common-sense freedom to healthcare. Plus, as a startup in a new industry, I get the unique challenge of using new tech to solve problems that literally haven't been solved before.” — Bradley Howell, Head of Customer Operations
That shared sense of purpose creates an environment where people feel empowered to take ownership of the problems they’re solving.
"I think what really sets Zorro apart is how aligned we are. We’re all pulling in the same direction to fix problems in the healthcare system that have been broken for a long time. That shared focus creates a lot of room to take risks and learn new things, because everyone is genuinely invested in the outcome. It’s the kind of environment where you can see the direct impact of your work every day.” — Melissa Blackerby, Senior Marketing Manager of Product & Content
Join the team on a mission to reimagine health benefits
Being named a Best Place to Work by Modern Healthcare is a proud moment for us, but the real win is the culture we get to experience in every stand-up or casual Slack conversation.
To the team: thank you for making Zorro what it is. You are the reason we made this list.
