Pros

Worked with a great team. Good work/life balance.

Cons

I worked for Optum for 22 years and was laid off a couple of months ago. This was not the first round of layoffs in 2025, and appears it will not be the last. This is all coming down to money. Many long-term employees are being let go, and with them goes a wealth of knowledge and experience. Pay raises have been minimal over the last few years, like less than 3%, which is less than the cost of living increase. Ongoing reorganizations, which leads to inconsistency and layoffs.

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’.
