Lots of flexibility, too much micromanaging and work load

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility for those of us that can work remotely and can handle the caseloads and demands.

Cons

Short staffed, turnarounds, poor management, poor recognition, high case loads, unrealistic expectations. I can manage my time but most have work above and beyond and still can not keep up with the expectations

Pros

Pay increase to join company. Hours of flexibility. Use to company credit card without having to go through hassle of reimbursement.

Cons

The market I worked in was a newly implemented Health Plan. There was MINIMAL support from the Corporate level and the people hired in the market had no Healthcare experience. How can you manage and function a Health Plan without that? Workers were very unprofessional and Management and above never took ownership of any issues. Ultimately the Health Plan advised they were pulling out of the market no less than 8 months of "going live". Luckily this was something I recognized and left prior to all this. This company still leaves a bad taste in Providers mouths.

Perfect example that money isn't everything

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay, high energy and fast paced environment.

Cons

You will never have a work life balance here. They only care about the bottom line and will make money at all costs. Unethical and borderline illegal business practices. Very clickish, and senior meetings are rude, disrespectful and personally nasty.
