AWFUL benefits, low compensation

Credentialing department

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can work from home

Cons

- pay is okay but be prepared to only make that ever because raises are Pennies (1-3%) - CEO Ken is estimated to make $600,000+/yr in just basic salary (13 mil if you include all lines of income) according to a quick google search, while many front line admin workers have to work 2 jobs in order to pay rent - benefits are ridiculously high, between high benefits and low pay, some workers are actually qualified for state insurance, which is sad for such a large healthcare corporation. - your work load will increase every year, goals will consistently go higher while raises do not even cover the rise of cost of living. - upper management does little recognition - lots of finger pointing - other departments are allowed to speak to you in a somewhat aggressive tone with no pushback

Business Outlook

Pros

Enjoyed colleagues, enjoyed working with clients

Cons

High turnover rate. They hire a lot of psychologists/psychiatrists/therapists but don't hire enough admin staff to even answer phone calls. Makes the patient experience not great
