Pros

Thinking.....Thinking...nope, nothing comes to mind. Met some good people over the years working here, thats about it. Good resume boost.

Cons

Pay is embarrassing for SD County. Comp plan got worse every year. They can adjust it whenever they wish and it's always worse for the employee. Employees are fleeing certain departments because of pay and how horrible they are run. For a "health" company the benefits costs are high for out of state employees. Pay went down and benefits cost went up. This company is absolutely despised by the provider base across the country. To say they are hated is a gross understatment. Go read some Yelp reviews from various providers (chiropractors, acupuncturists, etc) Their Health Plan clients do like them because of how little they pay their providers (saving the HPs gobs of money). I read some other review about the CEO being aloof and disconnected from 99% of employees--so true.

Pros

Work From Home and Make Up Time

Cons

Favoritism, unproductive environment. The department I worked in had a QA who belittled people in the position they just got hired from. I mean said some really hateful things. One of the worst mistakes I made was wanting to learn more and applying for a position. The role paid $15 per hour and I lost every single merit increase I’d ever earned. I liked learning this new role but put myself into debt financially at home for it and now I’m no longer here because somewhere else offered me better money for the same job. There needs to be more improvement on the micromanaging, the culture, the PAY (I don’t care what the company’s research says, the job postings by similar companies say something different). This could be an awesome place to work but the pay and some of the people need to be reviewed. It was like a mean girl club where I was and it’s unproductive and not inclusive to people who are new making a few mistakes and still learning. A good portion of the supervisors are checked out and have no idea how to help you. They just show up because they get paid to be there for maybe 4-5 hours per day. This place needs to come together and needs to actually read the bad reviews and believe them and just focus on improving. Things can get better, the first step is acknowledgement that it’s not perfect.
