Pros

There aren’t any I can think of. It gets worse every day. They don’t care about ANYONE, other than shareholders.

Cons

Nearly everything… after 10 years, my performance reviews raise for last year was 0.5% or $0.12. They are completely demeaning and it’s hard to have any self esteem or to Feel like you matter, even at a local level. Local managers ALSO have to deal with the corporate-decided policies, so everything is in the hands of an anonymous executive who has likely NEVER done your difficult job. Worst insurance I’ve ever had… and it’s United Healthcare bc it HAS to be United Healthcare bc they own Optum. Repulsive and monopolistic in the most transparent ways.

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’.
