Pros

Decent pay, interesting assignments, great colleagues that become like family. It’s also one of the most diverse employee populations I’ve seen (though not at the upper management or board levels).

Cons

Humana isn’t a meritocracy. It’s a political place, filled with minefields you have to navigate successfully to get decent raises, good assignments and promotions. People have long memories. P*^% someone important off, and your career will stagnate. Also, your experience will vary depending on where within the organization you work—and with whom. If you get a great manager, you’ll likely have a great experience. Get a poor manager, and your work life will reflect that. You may also end up working insane hours with little financial reward if you’re an exempt employee. Money tends to collect at the top of the hierarchy. Everyone else gets the leftovers, and they’re sparse.

Pros

Working from home, that’s about it.

Cons

Micromanaging, forced to help team members while you’re behind on your own caseload. Denied PTO requests, no PTO all summer and no PTO until the end of January 2027 (that’s supposed supposedly when they will be done ramping up with all their new employees.) a bunch of meetings weekly that are pointless. A weekly case conference where they are forcing nurses to present a complex case in front of over 300 people on zoom. Process changes change constantly, there are no job aid or guideline that help you make a Clinical decision but you will get out of it if you do it incorrectly. Save yourself the trouble and apply somewhere else. It is not worth it.
