Compare US Department of Veterans Affairs vs UnitedHealth Group

Pros

I came from the private sector where it is all about fattening someone's pockets while you work work work. I'll never go back to that. This job is fulfilling because you get to help our nation's... hero's. Nothing can compete with this vacation policy, I have more time off than I'll ever use. If you enjoy helping others and not helping your CEO get his 4th vacation home, you'll like this place. Oh and the insurance and retirement are outstanding.

Cons

It is true about what you hear about Government employees. Just don't fall into that loop and you'll be happy. Don't let other peoples' negativity get you down, because when you look at these... Veterans and realize what they went through, the piddly arguing goes out the window.

Pros

Company is big on work life balance and identifying areas where employees are encouraged to take the time needed to stay refreshed. Lots of opportunities for networking and career growth. Ability to... participate in projects outside of work scope to build skillsets. Ever growing and fast passed environment.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity to meet face to face with teammates if working in home environment. Big changes can take a lot of time in a big company. Some salaries are not in line with industry standards.
