Good company, easy onboarding, good location. Co-workers were awesome. Training was sketchy, but in all, the job was easy to do. If I didn't exhaust my FMLA, I'd still be there

Pros

Work from home, company events, pay, benefits

Cons

None really

Not a friendly place

Enrollment Specialist/call center rep (Former Employee) - Duluth, MN - April 5, 2022

Working for this company you will not feel welcome at all. Employees are considered disposable and treated as such. Most of my coworker’s were very nice and I enjoyed working with them. But management and corporate act as is you are beneath them and don’t deserve respect.

Pros

Work from home

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Management that is constantly changing, treated like property

No transparency and no support

Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Dublin, OH - December 4, 2021

You train for one job in the beginning and then are constantly moved into different departments. If you aren’t happy in that department, management doesn’t care because you were moved “for the company’s needs.” You are just another body on the phone taking calls; because it’s such a large company and it’s remote, no one sees or knows you personally and it shows. Toxic positivity is constantly displayed as a fix for being unhappy because management will do nothing to actually support you.

Pros

The pay, benefits, & incentives are nice but not enough to make me stay

Cons

Everything else

Entry level

Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - Texas - October 17, 2021

It is a great entry level call center. The training was a bit tough but it really helps when you get on the floor. At my interview I was told it would be it would be a remote position but on my first day that turned out to be a "privilege" to work from home. The job is really easy to the point where it gets so boring and your shift feels like it goes by so slow. They expect so much for a low wage. They need to be more organized and stop being so strict for the low wage they offer. They want you to do a background and drug test. Also if they can't find a previous employer they expect you to show proof with a pay check or IRS, which is ridiculous because they act like it's such a privilege to work there. If you stay for 90 days they offer advancements, but during that time they will try to find something to fire you for. They have a high turn over rate of employees, which they even seem to acknowledge, but wont change what they are doing.

Pros

Schedule, easy, good training

Cons

Short breaks, 90 day period, policies, management

Toxic work environment

Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Kingston, NY - May 21, 2021

I worked for this so called company for almost two years. One of their core values is compassion but the supervisors don't have a compassionate bone in their body. They let me go because of medical issues.

Pros

Weekends off

Cons

Over worked, understaffed, no compassion for employees with medical or mental illnesses

Great management, great pay

Call Center RN (Former Employee) - Greensboro, NC - April 7, 2021

Management was great in the department I worked in. The pay was very good. I felt like I was able to help the members when they called in. There were a lot of resources available to assist with daily tasks. Overall job assignment was easy and goals/metrics were easy to achieve. The only complaint was that we were often randomly given other tasks to do that were stressful and put us behind with our metrics.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good management

Cons

Random assignments to other departments, turnover

It was cool. Pay was good

Medicare and Retirement Customer Service Advocate (Call Center) (Former Employee) - Irving, TX - March 23, 2021

They started making changes without alerting the advocates. Started to micromanage really bad. My supervisor was very helpful in giving constructive feedback and tips on how to be a better customer service provider.

Not a long term career path

Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - Remote - February 9, 2021

I worked as a call center rep & the amount of work you have to do is RIDICULOUS! You are basically a community worker, call center rep, and assistant all in 1. For example. If a member is calling only for BENEFITS, you are to quote them their benefits, then expected to help look for a doctor, set up an appointment, AND transportation. Not to mention, there are so many different systems you have to utilize. Their employee metrics for bonuses are extremely high & unrealistic. I don’t recommend being a call center rep with this company.

Pros

Work from home

Cons

Short breaks, unprofessional management

Ok place to work

Call Center Representative (Current Employee) - North Richland Hills, TX - January 18, 2021

UHC is on ok place to work. Compensation needs to be updated, do not feel we are compensated for the amount of work that we do currently. Management is nice and try their best to be inclusive.

Pros

Cons

no work life balance, barely any time off

Good compensation & Benefits

Benefit Advocate (call center rep) (Current Employee) - San Antonio, TX - November 10, 2020

Worked as a benefit advocate (call center rep) for the Medicare segment. Job was decent, but it is a call center job so it was draining on my anxiety and depression. If you don't have a history of mental illness this job may not be bad for you, but otherwise it can be taxing. Managers were alright (not too bad, not too great). I believe they pay a fair wage and provide good benefits. Unfortunately, I found it hard to move up and when I tried applying to multiple different positions I was always rejected. They do match donations you make to approved charities, but I wish they would have given us company time to go out as teams to serve our community (which would also have helped us bond since it's hard to socialize with co-workers when you're stuck on the phones all day). That being said I believe UHG does a lot for our communities and is a decent place to work at.

Pros

Good pay + benefits + give back to community

Cons

Call center job (taxing on mental health)

It pays the bills

Call Center Customer Service (Current Employee) - North Richland Hills, TX - May 7, 2020

You answer incoming calls from insured people and agents all day. I learned a lot about health insurance and supplemental insurance while working here. Most of the time the calls are back to back, but it makes the time pass by faster which I don't mind. I think the audit process is the hardest. You have a great deal of info to remember, and they will take away points for everything you can imagine. You also have an average call handling time which is too short to handle everything especially with such a slow system, and problems with forms. You do get a bonus if you meet all the criteria. However, they are always looking for reasons to doc you to where you won't make the bonus. The most enjoyable part of the job are the co-workers.

I recommend having an open discussion with your manager on what is and isn't working. There are also employee resources internally that are available to you online and over the phone that I also recommend that you take advantage of. - Tori

Theyre Okay

Call Center Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Frederick, MD - March 25, 2020

If you dont have a dream or want to shoot for your own personal goals then UHC is the right company for you. They have a Work At Home position. The pay was definitely good. No room for advancement. They say one thing and something totally different happens. You can get up to Senior Call Center Agent and that's it. I went to their extended classes and they had me doing other projects in a short period of time. However as far as promoting from within, no they dont do that at all.
