Health First FAQ

Pros

Great insurance plans if you use their providers.

Cons

No flexible schedules, can’t use your PTO until after 90 days, if you leave before 1 year your accrued/earned PTO will not be paid out, PTO should be paid at a higher rate as it includes sick time, holidays and PTO, their explanation of “culture” is not what it actually is, pay is very low compared to other companies in the area. I’ve worked for large companies and never experienced this type of workplace.

Advice to Management

Support your employees, be a leader, not a dictator, make them feel welcome, listen to them, show empathy, allow a good work/life balance.. don’t treat salary employees like they are hourly. Train your employees and spend time with them. It’s very very clear to employees when you show favoritism, those favorites are allowed to do whatever they want.

Pros

Provide great benefits package when compared to other companies

Cons

Salary not based on experience

Pros

Great benefits and great team

Cons

Poor policy for weekend on-call coverage

Pros

Pay is based off experience, good benefits, stability. Room for growth within company.

Cons

Advancement opportunities are not treated fairly. They rather high external people to positions and not let someone already working in the company promote. OR they will promote someone that has only worked with the company 6 mths oppose to someone qualified that has been with the company longer. It’s all about who knows who. The recruiting dept is basically pointless.
