Pros

Employees are nice. Benefits are better than many but could be better yet.

Cons

- Promotions are almost impossible for hourly personnel. If you are hired as an hourly employee, it is almost impossible to get out of an hourly position even if you further your education. - In the past, a degree wasn't required and people were 'trained' to do soemthing. Now, even those people were were trained and then promoted are told they MUST get a degree. - When asked about the above, management says it is not true and peopel are lying. I have seen & heard management say this. Therefore, management can't be trusted. - People are expected to work overtime. Workweek is said to be 40 hours but it is expected to be 50 or more on a regular basis for salaried employees. - Management's answer to growth is to hire more management and NOT the actual worker bees.

Pros

The pay is decent and comparable to area hospitals

Cons

horrible training. Constantly being pulled off of regular work to put out fires. Managers are all buddies that have left Health Net and brought a top-down cliqueish culture with them. I have a masters degree and they asked me to answer phones....no thanks

Pros

1) Employee benefits, compensation -- a company that tries hard to do the right thing by its employees 2) High growth company, lot's of opportunities for advancement (if you are willing to re-locate) 3) Innovative company in the health care space 4) Every employee shares in the rewards that come from solid financial performance

Cons

1) If your personal life is significantly more important than your work life or career, think carefully before you apply to work here. 2) If you can't deal with the chaos that unprecedented growth brings, think carefully before you apply to work here.
