Pros

Nothing positive besides going on maternity leave.

Cons

Most stressful job ever. No way to start your career. The " whole getting your foot in the door" will not get you there. Where you start is where you will end. They will not transfer you within after working a 1.5 years. I never got an increase the whole time. Forget cost of living increase. I have a whole Master's Degree with no acknowledgement or respect for my credentials and previous work background. The impossible metrics to meet and the micromanaging tools along with micromanagers who take their position with authoritative power. No one is safe and you are replaceable.

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’.
