Pros

Generally a good work life balance. Nice coworkers. Decent corporate culture. Often open to telework long before COVID, even if only a weekly work from home day.

Cons

Low pay (healthcare industry in general). Very, very small annual pay increases. Always looking to cut costs. Promotions are rare unless you have the right friends or happen to work for a rising star that also likes you and your work.

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’.
