Pros

Good pay, access to courses for further education within company.

Cons

Terrible leadership, horrible work-life balance, massive layoffs constantly, employees in general have low moral and no respect for management as management does not care about the individual, only the product

Pros

Work from home Lots of health benefit options

Cons

Will lay you off with little notice Layoffs are not based on anything tangible (poor performers will get to stay while high performers get laid off) Redeployment process is overwhelming and confusing. Restructuring for no real reason Low pay Supervisors have no clue how to lead No chance to move up unless you’re the chosen one by leadership (those with less skill and education will move up while those that are qualified get held back)

Pros

Optum - UHG giant Fortune 6 Company Depending on your Team is an excellent Company Total Telecommuter job Great secure coasting Company

Cons

Our company's marketing strategies aren't aligning with our managers' experiences. We're profitable but not as successful as other companies in our industry. Some employees are struggling with high medical expenses and missing out on education credits and raise opportunities. We need to address these issues so everyone can feel valued and succeed.
