Overall package is good , with PTO, insurance, and 401k

Cons of working at UnitedHealth Group

Micromanagement, change programs way to often , ie computer programs for nursing are absurd and waste a lot of time. Very inefficient, plus they change them all the time, i am sure whoever markets them is happy to sell them to UHG

Pros of working at UnitedHealth Group

It has a lot of diversity, you do not need experience because there is a 5 month training before you hit the floor. There is a very large culture of volunteering.

Cons of working at UnitedHealth Group

The metrics are very hard to meet with the software problems so you feel cheated. The supervisors are very metric-centered and very micromanaging. You don't ever feel like you are doing a good job.
