Healthfirst (New York) Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

Good life work balance Company actually cares about employees Great benefits Quarterly incentive Great schedules Holidays off Overtime available Ability to move within the company

Cons

One gets the feeling that upper management would be a lot more forgiving than middle management. Many changes that do not have advanced notice. Needs to have more in depth training.

Pros

The Hiring process was quick

Cons

Management was terrible, no communication at all. Upper management would make decisions without notice to us. We would question our direct managers about it, and they had no idea of the situations as well. Upper management does not care about its staff nor hear from their opinions and point of views. No room for growth.

Pros

Great colleagues and good teamwork.

Cons

Upper management is inefficient. Too much stress on productivity, metrics and data. Utterly inefficient information system to gather useful data and information. Micromanagement and overly controlling upper management who care a hoot for their direct reports. Less said about the HR management is better. The consultants try to manipulate the clinical staff to get the desired data to reach the STAR goals...pathetic. Very very stressful place to work. Don't recommend it anyone. And no room to grow due to favoritism.

Pros

Option to work from home depending on position

Cons

The pay is not great, especially if you’ve been at the company for a while. Upper management is usually out of touch with what “regular” employees are working on. There’s a constant disconnect, and the company’s goals are not transparent. Also note that while you may work from home, there’s a lack of flexibility in working from anywhere else. You have to work at your home location.

Pros

Being involved with upper management decision when it comes to staff

Cons

Management has no clue of the process of the team or work, and they will have meetings with you to get your ideas so they can use it.

Pros

Great support from Team Lead and upper Management. Holidays, PTO, VTO, and most importantly, great life balance. Has many opportunities for growth within the company.

Cons

High call volume. It takes at least 3-4 months to get familiar with company P&P. Lots of information to retain.

Pros

This was a great place to learn about the Managed Care business and gain experience in Medicaid and Medicare. There is a lot of opportunity for advancement up to a certain point and great educational experiences. The compensation packages are also really competitive. I had a really good experience here up until some management changes.

Cons

There is not a great work/life balance. There also seems to be a bit of a disconnect between upper and lower management that can make for toxic departmental attitudes. I also found that any requests for education were difficult outside of the existing choices.

Pros

Another of vacation days off

Cons

No upward mobility. Not inclusive. Retaliatory environment. Mid and upper management incompetent and not placed due to merit but rather by whom they know or have relations with.

Pros

Great benefits Ok compensation Pto

Cons

Lack of support from upper management Unprofessional

Pros

Flexible hours, nice coworkers, competitive pay

Cons

Too many useless meetings, everyone is ccd on every email. Upper management is too busy reading emails and sitting in meetings to do any actual work.
