Pros

Location Team Not much else

Cons

Healthcare provider ( UnitedHealth) is the worst! Staying with this healthcare company for another year might force me to work elsewhere. Lack of communication between divisions. PTO plan is a joke. Company just sold off its spectrum rights for billions but no company direction has been announced. More layoffs coming next month right before the holidays.

We appreciate you sharing such candid and detailed feedback about your experience, and we take your concerns very seriously. It's helpful to know you've had a positive experience with your immediate location team. That is a testament to the dedication of our employees. However, we clearly have work to do, and we recognize the frustration expressed regarding several key areas. We are committed to providing a comprehensive and valuable benefits package, and we are actively evaluating our vendor partnerships and policies, including our PTO plan, to ensure they meet the needs of our workforce. We continuously strive to enhance the value and accessibility of all employee benefits. We also understand that times of corporate transition can bring uncertainty, and we are committed to improving internal communication to provide clarity and direction across all divisions. We value our employees immensely, and their well-being is always central to our decision-making. We are continuously working to improve and foster a more positive and transparent work environment.
