Working at Health Union over the years is like watching the horse in the Neverending Story slowly sink in the swamp of sadness. This is a company who is no longer what they used to be. And they have no idea who they are now. I have serious concerns about the longevity of this company. They are making some business decisions that just don't make any sense. There have been so many red flags. I wonder if more layoffs are coming down the road or if they are going to try to sell the company. The CEO runs the company based on emotion and ego. Its not uncommon for him to cry in company wide meetings.. That's not appropriate. Some in senior leadership can be tone deaf and, in many ways have lost their sense of direction. Health Union as a whole has lost its way and has strayed from its mission.They used to create communities based on patient needs. And that's still true to some extent. But they're reallly in deep with big pharma now and are creating communities that almost seem to serve as an extension of big pharma's sales department. The pay is low. (There are a lot of fake salaries reported on glassdoor for HU). You don't come to Health Union to make money.Sure, senior leadership will say that they pay market value blah, blah, blah. After all, they have the studies to prove it...lol. Typical corporate speak. The pay is low. I personally can count on 2 hands the number of people who left HU and made at least $30K+ more or even double their salary. HU often pays lip service to equality and equity, so I'll give them this: we're equally underpaid. . Gaslighting is a real art here. It's gotten to the point that I document things because I've gotten tired of hearing "We didn't say that" or "Taht never happened". Favoritism and nepotism run amock here as well. They love kool aid drinkers and cheerleader types. But disagree? no bueno. If you work here, you need to smile, nod your head, and make sure that you give the impresssion that everything is a-okay. One review on this page said HU is a young company and should be given some slack. No. HU has been around since 2010 – long enough to know better AND do better. HU blames recent restructuring on the economy. Does the economy play a part? Yes. But there have been many poor decisions over the years made by senior leadership. yet the higher ups will not acknowledge this and will not own they're part in creating this mess that is now Health Union. Its sad really. This was once a nice company with some really great people. Now it feels like its struggling just to make it.. I don’t have confidence that they’ll be able to turn things around. Health Union feels like a company that's flailing. Morale is low. There are a lot of people looking for new jobs. I don't believe the layoffs are over. It will be interesting to see if Health Union is even around in a couple of years.
