Healthways – “Great mission, but at the end of the day just another big corporation...”
Pros
The mission is to make people healthier providing them timely support and education with their chronic disease or health risk. Very admirable and one can take pride in that --
Cons
but unfortunately, like most big corporations the cultural statement became nothing but words on a page. Every year we get treated to an "October Surprise." Typically this means less money, less benefits, less balance in your life or perhaps your job just goes away. Each year we are told to take one for the gipper with the promise of improvment. I don't know who is thriving, but this company is destroying itself from within. Good talent leaves and is replaced by overseas temps or less quailified, less expensive warm bodies But the house of cards is rattling -- hopefully a big wind won't strike any time soon.
Advice to Senior Management
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Years of smoke and mirrors, Pony shows and dog acts no longer fly.
