UnitedHealth Group Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Good place to work and it is flexible for what I needed. I think that the overall company is run well and it has challenges inherent with any large company. Resources are always limited because of the bottom line that is demanded by share holders and requirements are always changing for the health care sector."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time while working at United Health group.Pros: Good people, good management, nice salary with benefits.Cons: Crowded, bad cafeteria food, less holidays."

"This is the worst company to work for."

"I've worked for United Health for over 5 years. In that time, nothing has changed to keep up with the times technologically. The company is too focused on metrics and getting claims out the door than they are to figure out new and faster ways to do old tasks."

I believe it's time for me to move on to other Companies who are looking for individual with Company work Ethics and good employment background, has well as good citizens (can pass a criminal background check)."

What don't you like about working at UnitedHealth Group?

"The organization makes a good speech about how they care. However, their actions speak volumes. They move offices to different cities on a whim. Suddenly hundreds of people are out of a job. They will not work with you to improve your performance; they will deal with you until they don't need you and send you out the door. Discrimination and harassment go unchecked in many of the smaller towns because people are desperate to have a job. The organization froze employee salaries a few years back (but gave themselves nice stock options). All of the real UHG visionaries left about five years ago because there was no compassion for employees or patients. The focus was on making a buck and making more than they did the prior year. Sell more, work faster, then outsource to 3rd parties or offshore work to India. The organization keeps acquiring smaller insurance companies because it's the only way they can keep up their growth, but they loose a lot of members and employees when the nature of the behemoth becomes apparent. Claims aren't consistently processed because there is a work-around for a work-around that was changed yesterday, and an email went out but, oh, you weren't on the distribution list."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get back to basics of health care! Get a soul and understand that when you close offices to reorganize, people's lives are impacted. People dedicate 15 or 20 years and then are pushed out. UHG is a job, not a career."

What don't you like about working at UnitedHealth Group?

"Most companies give their employees praise for making production. This particular plant gives their seniority parties a pass for bad behavior towards new hires or people they feel intimidated by for whatever reason. They make it a priority to bully employees to the point they either quit or they get fired. I thought we were all there for the same thing... boy, was I wrong."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Have random meetings with employees, or hire undercover HR to visibly see what the hell is really going on with management."
