Community Health Plan of Washington Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Community Health Plan of Washington

Pros – Good benefits: Low health insurance premiums for self & family, transportation subsidy, generous PTO policy (17 days to start + 40 hrs community service), matching 401K

Cons – Low morale, below average pay, virtually no telecommuting allowed, high staff turn-over, ineffective senior management (especially IT & HR), constantly shifting priorities, bad reputation in the industry

Advice to Senior Management – Pay staff what they are worth, get rid of "dead weight" around the office, continue to focus on the strategic plan (and quit changing it every year)

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Community Health Plan of Washington as a contractor

Pros – The company hires a lot of temporary workers, so other temps are very friendly. Good location. Seems like there are good benefits for the full-timers.

Cons – Horrible management. Extremely disorganized company. As a temp I was constantly asked to do things that I had no way of doing (through lack of information) or was not trained to do. I was extremely worried I was giving members the wrong information and often had no way of verifying that information. One supervisor in particular has been extremely rude without ever introducing herself. Terrible morale- employees are flat out rude to each other.

Advice to Senior Management – Supervisor etiquette lessons? Trial by fire does not work in health insurance, members are counting on us to give them accurate information.
