Pros

My immediate team was great and very supportive.

Cons

Layoffs happen year round under UnitedHealth, which includes Optum. I was laid off by UnitedHealth a few years ago, and then 25% of my team was impacted by the May, 2024 RIFs (including me, again). There is a lot of restructuring going on for the One Optum California initiative.

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’.
