Pros

The pro to working for Humana is that the minimum wage for their company, at least in my state is $15/hr. The raises have been cut considerably but they're still better than a lot of other companies in my area. (Louisville, KY) The real pro is working from home. It's almost worth the cons, would be great for people who like to work alone or not have to drive.

Cons

Poor leadership. There seems to be too many people that are in charge but no one knows who to reach out to if theres an issue they cant assist with. Theres a lot of communication problems between leadership. The break system is pretty bad. I've had my 1st break and lunch only 20 minutes apart. While WAH is amazing there are of course issues that follow. Namely, the group chats are not always helpful. It's sometimes difficult to get answers you need that you cant find yourself and once someone does finally reply they usually ask you multiple times if you've tried other means to find the answer. Which makes for long hold times and upset clients. The biggest complaint, I think for me, is the disregard for the workers time. Planning ahead for vacations or out of town trips is a nightmare. They wont approve your time in advance. I've been told there is no way to send time sensitive requests higher up, no one to email. If you plan a vacation months ahead and notify them several months in advance they wont give you info until the first of the month you have your vacation, if not up to the week of. For a company with this many employees youd think there would be a policy in place to ensure that employees are rewarded for being diligent but that's not the case. Leadership acts as though there is an entity far beyond their reach that you should just hope and pray to that they approve your request so you dont get told the vacation is not approved and lose out on nonrefundable suites, airfair, tickets, etc. Other cons include their systems, it seems like there is a lot of unfinished ideas to improve call rep handle times and this has lead to different information being located in 8 systems and you're told constantly to stop using that, use this and then a week later stop that, do this. Makes it difficult to be efficient. Chance for growth is pretty bleak.

Pros

Incredible 5 Star training for 3 weeks in Louisville, KY. , Good health insurance and 401k matching program.

Cons

Weak, unqualified management of all white men. My manager hid from us, missing from our office for weeks at a time. Getting paid $250,000.00 annually, his only job was keeping his job. Never wanted to risk using new ideas to increase sales. Just wanted to fly under the radar. Was supposed to take new hires and “show us the ropes” but never took us out once. Took the men in office out for drinks, lunches and pro football and baseball games but women were never included. Fired me while I was on FMLA. And yes, they can do whatever they want.
