      I have been working at Meridian Health Plan full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Education and training. Yeah, they have bagel Fridays, events, and other great perks like wearing jeans! I'm shocked by the negative reviews, as an older person (being in my 30s) the aspect I appreciate the most, is their willingness to train and develop anyone as long as you are willing. When I graduated college years ago, I never had a job that was literally only 8 hours, the normal was 10 hour days, and I never worked at a company that invested their money to have departments dedicated to employee culture, like Meridian does. They encourage work-life balance, and value everyone's time. I have experienced great communication, because I communicate in a professional manner. You get what you give. This company is willing to invest in their employees and there is a lot to be said for that.

      Cons

      Traffic can be unpredictable, but that is nothing Meridian can control!

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up!

      Pros

      Work from home. Travel to different places for chart reviews. PTO accrued every paycheck.

      Cons

      If you are not in management or Not Buddy Buddy with someone in management then you don't matter. HR does not do their job to follow up on complaints regarding harassment from managers. Senior leadership of the abstraction does not care about you. They ask your opinion on things and then twist your words and use them against you. They make false accusations to terminate you. If you are not a yes sir type of person or a butt kisser don't expect to be promoted or do well here. The training is horrible.

      Good location
      Bagel Friday
      Flexible Schedule
      Casual Attire
      Fun culture
      Good PTO Policy (3 weeks accrued)

      Cons

      Meridian was a horrible place to work, and I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Pay is atrocious. Most people in leadership were promoted based on favoritism and friendship, rather than merit. Lots of drama, scandals, and rumors. Felt like I was in middle school at times. Middle management used to scream at one another, throw tantrums, cry, swear, etc. Other teams within a department would deliberately try to sabotage other teams within the department. There are also many departments who get paid a large amount of money to deliver absolutely nothing and complete no real work. It really was a toxic work environment. All of the good employees end up leaving anyway.

      They don’t value their employees whatsoever and offer no room to grow, unless you’re a white male from Grosse Pointe. If you are a white male from Grosse Pointe, then you’ll do very well here.

      Maybe things will change now that the ownership has changed. But honestly, please work somewhere else.

      Advice to Management

      Promote based on merit. Stop promoting your friends.
      Provide more professional training/outside certification opportunities.
      Offer better reimbursement for continued education.
      Leadership needs to communicate and stop trying to bring one another down.
      Promote a culture of mutual respect and teamwork.
      Invest in your employees. You’ve hired them for a reason.
      Maternity/Paternity policy should be improved. As a healthcare company I’m shocked it’s not better.
      Take time to fix the root of the problems, rather than covering them up with bandaids. Invest in the staff you need to deliver the projects.

      Pros

      Decent salary for someone right out of college and good benefits. Detroit Campus Martius location is fantastic.

      Cons

      No communication from department to department, even those that overlap. Strict 30-minute lunch, hardly enough time to take the elevator down, walk outside AND eat. Very little flexibility.

      Advice to Management

      Give your employees more flexibility in their schedule. Instead of forcing 2-15 minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch break, let employees combine them for a decent lunch break. Sometimes I think all the little things like Meridian Mania and HEDIS week are attempts to distract us from the fact that our days are so regimented. But we're smarter than that.
