Pros

On some teams, it's a low-intensity workplace with relatively generous work-life balance.

Cons

It's a big faceless corporation that isn't interested in pushing its employees to learn and improve. Layoffs are a frequent concern. Sometimes, workplace relations seems to take priority over rational decisions when it comes to how resources get allocated.

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’.
