Humana reviews

Highly departmentalized. Some departments have a strict business dress code, while people in the same building are wearing jeans and flip flops because they work in a different department. When you start be sure to negotiate a high salary. All pay raises will be based upon this salary. As an employee right out of college I accepted a $35,000 per year salary assuming that with hard work and dedication I would make more money. I was paid about $10,000 per year less than a co-worker who had the same job. I went almost 2 years without a raise and when I went to renegotiate a raise they gave me a $3,500 raise and was told that was the most they could give me because it was a 10% raise. So my salary went to $38,500. My co-worker who was hired in 6 months before me had renegotiated a raise before me and let me know that she had gotten $5,000. So she was making $50,000 per year and I was only making 38,500. All of the people in my department tried to change departments, but never got any calls. After talking with a friend in HR, we were told that there was a freeze on our department and that we were too valuable to be moved. Finally we all had to leave the company in order to get a raise. Many people right out of college were making $50,000 or more, so be sure to negotiate. Required to work overtime including many weekends although most departments did not share this experience. Worked a minimum 50 hours per week for 35k per year. Not able to take the vacation days I accrued. My department's culture was one of working all hours and not taking vacation unless you were a mother.

way too many task for an entry level position, call center=teenage like environment, limited advancement opportunity(beware they hype you up in training), horrible recognition, the worst turn over rate I have ever seen I mean the worst! This is not a good place for "get your foot in the door and move up" you'll be disappointed, favoritism is the name of the game, its not what you know but who you know and you don't have to know a thing!
