Pros

Education Stipend is good, nice PTO time given, good work-life balance

Cons

Contract dependent, no 401k match; seems as though not much is being done to help those who are currently furloughed to get reassigned, but rather they'd prefer to hire external candidates instead when new positions open. Current leadership hasn't been very helpful and willing to assisting retaining their current people. Seems as though UnitedHealth is driving more of these decisions now and the criteria has changed. Sad, because I really liked the company.

Pros

The company overall offers great growth opportunities, flexibility, and leadership support. Upper Management participated in leadership workshops to sharpen their skills which I think is always a plus to have in a company.

Cons

However, I will say I think its organizational structure is political. Enough times, I questioned how some managers spoke to each other and treated each other. In my specific department, the Director in charge was not fit to lead others.

No chance to grow

Pros

PTO is solid and we receive most of the basic holidays as well.

Cons

Where do I start? Complete lack of communication to anyone below a GM position. Anyone whose an exercise specialist can pretty much assume that they will never directly communicate with their regional director. All programs are pre-uploaded and there is no room to customize to your site. They are also the exact same year-over-year which makes things boring for employees and members. There is zero room to grow within company- ES reviews are not looked at or discussed with directors, we are not allowed to take part in any of the committees which help produce content, and trying to move into a different role is impossible. I've applied to at least 5 positions within the company and have heard back from a grand total of one. As an internal candidate this is disrespectful. Reasoning for not being moved into a manager level position (despite over-qualifying) was due to lack of excitement in my voice during the phone interview. Regional directors offer zero help to employees who want to grow and improve.
