      Pros

      The only pro to working here is that you can add it to your resume and possible work from home.

      Cons

      I worked in two different departments in this company and they all play favorites. People that were there for less than two years get higher positions just because of who they know. It's ridiculous! Also, a lot of micromanagement wherever you move to. It's all about numbers and not the members or the work and time you put in. They think you are a robot. No work-life balance whatsoever!

        Pros

        UHG/UHC is flexible with employee work hours and allows employees to work remotely (from home). It's great to be able to flex your schedule arounddd rush hour and work from home as needed.

        Cons

        1) Communication within the company is poor. Senior management tries to give the "appearance" of communication, but there is no trickle down of communication by department management. 2) Employees are not valued-they are treated like a commodity. Creativity and competency are not encouraged. 3) The company's ethics are questionable.

      Manager

      Good morning! I had a final interview the other day where I was tasked with presenting a project I was to work on. I presented and was told that my project was refreshing, I anticipated questions, explained my assumptions and there were no questions. In your experiences, is this a good sign? They said they were interested in how I speak and think. Good? Bad? Indifferent? I know everything is a 50/50 shot, but this was the first time I've been in this position, so I'm kind of anxious. Thanks

      Manager

      I recently completed a 3 round interview. As I didn’t get the job I asked for feedback from the hiring managers. One responded and told me they think I great job during the interview. I was friendly, personable & professional. Provided an depth look into your experience, explained how I can be an asset to the organization/team, and shared my desire to grow and develop along the way. But the main advice was that I didn’t fully or better explain why I left my last company. Any thoughts on this?

      I had a felony 20yrs ago and recently released. It would have nothing to do with these jobs. My history was stellar as industrial sales with engineering background, Now I want sales support positions which I have experience. I interview really well. I wait until an in person interview to bring this up so they have a better feel for me as a person. I am still navigating how and when to discuss this topic. I feel it needs to be brief and then pivot to how my skills can help the company.
