Pros

They have a lot of money, so getting software and hardware isn't much trouble.

Cons

The absolute worst health insurance plans I've ever seen. Seeing as how this company is a health insurance and health care provider, the fact that they offer such terrible insurance to employees demonstrates they have no value towards them. On top of that the plans are getting more expensive each year with worse deductibles. The more you make the higher your insurance rate, and also there is a penalty to insure a spouse if they are eligible for insurance with their employer.

Pros

Difficult to say many positives, as most of the current field staff has either resigned or currently interviewing for other positions.

Cons

Office management, upper management within the company leave staff with unfulfilled promises, ineffective communication, lack of response to questions and concerns that staff members ask on a weekly basis. This office has such high turnover with obvious lack of concern by any of the higher ups within LHC group, Optum, Amedisys. These 3 companies are merging or UHC is purchasing- upper management is unable or unwilling to share exact plans which has been adding to overall anxiety, uncertainty within this office. As staff we continue to be told ‘just hang tight, things will get better’.
