      Pros

      Was part of Landmark Health when it was acquired my Optum which had many pro’s.

      Cons

      Nepotism in hiring and management, IT access is ticketed and has slow resolution, frequent layoffs (there is a calendar layoff season) check layoff.com, no communication between “Pillars” which makes it difficult when functions overlap and miscommunication causes tension. They cut a lot of pay for workers from Landmark when they started dismantling the company to absorb employees.insurance is terrible.
