Pros

There are no pros to this job.

Cons

I worked for Optum for 8 years. They underpay employees below a certain grade level. You only get a maximum for 2% raise a year which is pennies. The company keeps buying small companies and have gotten so big, it is impossible to apply for a job within the company. If you want to move internally you have thousands of people applying for the same position. You don’t even hear back from a posting for months. There are clicks and if you are not apart of the click you can’t get anywhere. I would not recommend this company for someone who wants to keep their sanity.

Pros

The pros are the benefits and the flexible work schedules. Also, the pay is not too bad

Cons

Can be predominantly ran by women and underachievers. Needs to restructure in order to get rid of favoritism and side line chatter

Pros

Work-life balance, industry leading healthcare company

Cons

Lower end on pay scale, medical benefits are horrible (and this is an insurance company!), medical, dental, and vision premiums are very expensive, very low raises compared to the market, unorganized with little structure, horrible systems with little response to issues, management lacks necessary leadership skills.
