Pros

Moot point as the company division I worked for (Health Net of the Northeast) was sold to UnitedHealthcare.

Health Net was a great company to work for - they do have offices still in CA, AZ and OR - I would recommend it as a good place to work. They place a premium on associate satisfaction.

Cons

Company was sold so I no longer have a job there which is a downside. The company handled the employee layoffs very professionally.

Pros

Good work life balance, fair pay

Cons

ITG is a big problem, keeping this company from excelling in this tough industry.

Advice to Senior Management

Bring IT back in house.

Pros

Co-workers are friendly and casual dress code.

Cons

Management is out of touch with support staff. Constant re-invention of the wheel.

Advice to Senior Management

You would be nothing without your support staff. Recognize and respect that.

Pros

Good leadership, Nice benefits and Great people

Cons

IT - needs updating some systems are antiquated

Pros

Some good HR technology tools for both HR and the employees.

Cons

Weak HR practices, constant rounds of lay-offs, disconnected HR team. Lack of solidarity and teamwork. Poor direction and cohesive leadership

Advice to Senior Management

Work on the culture and the profits will follow - happy employees who are in fear of losing their job on a daily basis will create a production work culture. Raise the bar on performance stop hiring the bottom rung.
