      Pros

      UHC has flexible schedules for my job position. There are opportunities to progress through a number of job positions. Potentially good opportunities for international workers or those interested in transferring to other locations because UHC has a number of locations across the United States. It could be easy to stay under the radar of some management and get by with doing little work, depending on position. Many meetings are held over the phone and/or Internet, so working from home is an option for some positions. If you just want a paycheck, UHC may not be a bad place to work.

      Cons

      Poor communication within and between teams at UHC. Information is hard to find. There is little face to face interaction since most meetings are held over the phone, including meetings between teams in the same physical location. There are many little messages that people are not valued at UHC. The primary focus appears to be performance as a company. Although there are efforts to change the culture of UHC, it will take years for this to be effective. Health insurance for employees is more complicated and includes less coverage for employees. Do not expect a warm atmosphere or any team building activities.

      Pros

      Large organization with global opportunity in various fields of healthcare.

      Cons

      Too large and communications are continually stalled. Often times difficult to accomplish anything due to the complex organizational structure.
