Florida Department of Health Reviews

Pros

Health insurance and hours are 8-5 Monday through Friday unless on call. We were given temporary help during the pandemic although they were untrained people off the street with no Epi experience or medical training of any kind. Another pro is student loan forgiveness if you want to go back to school however more education does not equal more pay and is instead seen as a threat to senior leadership.

Cons

Upper management makes all the decisions without consulting SMEs and Florida did away with the requirement that they be physicians so most have no knowledge of health at all. It’s friends helping friends to get this high-paying positions. Nothing to do with degrees or knowledge, just politics and connections. Far too much to get done and be able to do it well.

Pros

Provides a good service for people in need. Most of the employees really care to help people.

Cons

Long hours. No flexibility. No raises. Insulting salaries. Mandatory overtime ( on salary ). Required to work during hurricanes. Poor training.

Pros

Great benefits and rewarding work

Cons

Due to the nature of the current gubernatorial administration and state surgeon general, we are unable to complete our duties and effectively assist the citizens of this state.

Pros

It's Flexible and the Environmental is full of great people to work with

Cons

Pay is low, Some jobs could potentially be Remote

Pros

Nice building with a good amount of parking .

Cons

Everything is on fire. There is no time to properly complete tasks because the senior management does not plan, they are completely reactionary.

Pros

Unlimited supply of free anxiety.

Cons

Incredibly demanding job that should pay about $10k to $15k more than they currently pay based on the amount of effort involved. Every week is a struggle to simply stay above water and close more claims than you were assigned. The few people that can do it are either very experienced, working more than 40 hours, or are cheating the system. I know of more than a few examiners that cut corners or just straight up lie in order to get claims closed. Quality Assurance sits in their ivory tower and return your claims with requests that almost never make a decisional difference. Heaven forbid you should have a life event that causes you to have to take time off, because you will never be able to recover because nobody is helping you with your claims. Office morale is rock bottom. Upper management is disengaged (cough...TC). They cant keep employees (75% of hiring classes quit before a year). It's no wonder Florida is one of the worst states in the country to file for disability. Claimant's are many times waiting almost a year for resolution. Unacceptable.

Pros

nice coworkers, good sense of family, regular 9-5 hours

Cons

low pay, no overtime pay, no room to advance

Pros

Administration is garbage, the organization is not a strong suit, the concern for training and education is poor and the overall morale is poor. Not a good place to HAVE to be everyday. And the pay is HORRIBLE.

Cons

They’d offer breakfast every now and then.

Pros

great atmosphere, great benefits and managment.

Cons

Not enough staff, more praises.

Pros

great benefits relatively less stressful job job security work life balance

Cons

hard to move up unless someone leaves a position low pay
