Pros

Good experience Okay job security Good industry position Easy to establish good work-life balance by setting the right boundaries

Cons

Have shifted most hiring offshore (some orgs are 60% offshore workforce currently and on pace to worsen, 90% open reqs are offshore) Poor financial systems (UHG prioritizes accounting first and healthcare second) Poor leaders (Majority of leaders get their role through survivorship rather than talent - when someone leaves, an existing next-in-line will inherit the role. Leadership talent has been steadily declining as a result and will eventually reach an inflection point)

Pros

Difficult to say many positives, as most of the current field staff has either resigned or currently interviewing for other positions.

Cons

Office management, upper management within the company leave staff with unfulfilled promises, ineffective communication, lack of response to questions and concerns that staff members ask on a weekly basis. This office has such high turnover with obvious lack of concern by any of the higher ups within LHC group, Optum, Amedisys. These 3 companies are merging or UHC is purchasing- upper management is unable or unwilling to share exact plans which has been adding to overall anxiety, uncertainty within this office. As staff we continue to be told ‘just hang tight, things will get better’.
