Pros

There is a lot of knowledge if you know who to talk to and where to look If you happen to get lucky and be paired one of the few good managers, it will not be as bad. The company has an overall positive outlook and is constantly growing and expanding.

Cons

The company as a whole has a very toxic work culture and it is felt all the way up to upper management. I worked for this company for 9 years and was able to see many areas within the company. It is pretty disheartening when your suggestions are not hear and things are not done about the toxic people except given promotions. There are areas within this company that I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to join (Implementation, CFR, most customer facing areas), as the management is bad and has a bad track record of retention. Due to retention being very low, they are hiring entry level people with limited knowledge to perform jobs where they're required to be "experts" but don't have the knowledge or experience to even pass their required initial training courses. The pay is sad. I got $.25 raise year over year regardless of how much work or how little work was done. The bonus structure is almost non-existent at this point. Yearly reviews are done using a bell curve by director, so someone ALWAYS needs to be on the bottom and to be at the top is almost unobtainable. The benefits package is lackluster for a self funded group. Their employee feedback has been consistent that the benefits structure is bad and the response is "We want to show our customers that we back this product." So they don't incentivize their employees any better to show new business that "it works".

Pros

Remote work, Equipment provided, No weekends,Holidays

Cons

All they care about is metrics, They had one that rewarded you if you hang up on the provider call before they do. only gave 7 seconds inbetween calls which does not allow you to put in your phone notes let alone fill out and submit adjustments for providers. Was Told thats the Providers fault for not filling out forms correctly. Does not care about work life balance. Impossible metrics will make you feel like your are constantly in danger of loosing your job. So much work you just dont focus on completing tasks which is how they want it. the longer you make the provider wait, the past due date will come and they cant make adjustments and dont get paid. Terrible company overal as its apart of united health care which is the spawn of Evil and stand for everything wrong with health insurance. DO BETTER
