What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get ready for EEOC lawsuits. Worst environment that I have ever worked in."

"This place reeks of unethical and illegal employment practices. You do not treat your employees, other human beings, like trash. It’s time people start speaking up about this corporate office. The local news or EEOC needs to get involved. You do not put employees on corrective action plans because they had to call out because they were in the middle of a medical/ pregnancy related emergency. This is a true story. This is a healthcare company that could care less about the health of their employees. Especially the SNP manager who harasses and discriminates against certain employees when upper management isn’t looking. The same manager who retaliated against an employee for taking FMLA. That’s illegal! This is just one example of MANY."

"I have worked at Optum for 2 years. Overall it’s a decent company. Your day will always start off stressful because you will be on hold with IT for at least an hour. The computer systems and applications are always going down and computer screens and laptops constantly malfunction. The workplace environment is toxic and micromanaged. Although you are approved to work from home, some directors will make their own rules and tell you to come in just to micromanage you. You will never get a raise higher than 8 cents every year or other year. Some directors are allowed to get away with unethical behavior because HR won’t do anything about it."

"Working for OptumCare for over a year as part of the HRIS/Finance/Payroll Division. Love what they strive for, however, the environment is somewhat akin to Office Space within my own department. A lot of work with little substantial reward (no bonus/raises/promotions or discussion of such in reviews), lack of appropriate recognition, lack of significant follow thru for repeated staff concerns, and no clear upward trajectory interior to the department. General feeling; be seen but not heard when it comes to 'inclusion' and efforts rarely amount to something substantially significant."
