Pros

Flextime, PTO, remote work, nothing else to brag about

Cons

PAY is an absolute disgrace, it’s repulsive, the amount of work and time you put in and the pay is so below average-management is a joke and you’re treated like a child, advancement is non existent unless your buddies with someone in an upper level spot- it’s a joke

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’.
