Pros

Decent benefits, onsite workout facility. HR is very nice and good pay.

Cons

No training at all. No classes, no material, no mentor, nothing!! The company is not trending toward a good work life balance, you must be there from x time to x time each day or you get a dirty look and there are no work from home opportunities. The company is very slow moving, do not expect a fast paced work environment. Culture is very poor. Most people have worked at the company for a long time - which isn't a bad thing, but they all eat lunch at their desk, no happy hours and not very much day to day socializing. The meetings I attended were very awkward, especially with higher up management. Multiple times I heard people pass blame onto other departments or people during meetings. I was called out in front of people during meetings about topics I didn't have knowledge of yet due to lack of training. It appears that people get into management by how long they have been at the company not because they are good leaders or because they would be successful in the position. This leads to very poor management and no one to help you achieve your goals. There were a lot of politics - who you know was a big deal. Overall most of the people in the company were rude. Most people seemed like they did not want to be there. When you walk in the hall way don't except a smile unless you have met the person multiple times or are working closely with them. It is a very hierarchy based company, if you are not a direct report to someone the majority of the time they will act like you don't exist.

Pros

Work life balance is valued - but workload makes it impossible to actually follow through.

Cons

Employed by Medica through UCares acquiring. Nobody at Medica knew what was going on at UCare. Very disorganized, lack of communication between two, extremely heavy workloads, and upper management on UCare side does not advocate for staff.
