Former Employee – worked at Molina Healthcare

ProsThe work location was close to home and the hours were steady. The pay was OK and benefits were below average but OK.

ConsThis is one of the worst places for nepotism, cronyism and backstabbing pettiness I have ever experienced. The company has a terrible turnover rate and they wonder why. My managers were insecure, petty and fired their staff rather than give good direction and develop people. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place unless you don't have any other options.

Advice to Senior ManagementDo a circular review and get some real feedback so you can find out what your directors and VP's are really doing. You talk a lot about the family, but its all BS. You're nothing but a big corporation, so drop the mom and pop crap. No one buys it anymore.

Current Employee – been working at Molina Healthcare

ProsCompensation and benefits are good.

ConsIt is shock that a publicly traded organization can operate in such an incompetent way. The new top management in IT is even worst than the last one. Top guy is a friendly politician but without any direction, vision and has no knowledge of healthcare. You rarely see him outside of his office. All of the employees operate as an individuals without any communication, structure or direction. The AVPs act like they are gods and if you bring them gifts and please them every day you get promoted. Other than good salary and benefits this not a good place for someone who wants a long career and is mostly frustrating and stressful. You are not productive because of zero direction and your skills become rusty.

Advice to Senior ManagementLeadership needs to hold IT management accountable and stop them from playing favoritism. Bring in people who know their job, rather than friends and friends of friends. Much of the talent has left and more will leave creating a critical situation that will impact the whole organization.

Long Beach, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Molina Healthcare

ProsGood salary package...Work life balance

ConsDumb Management that promotes people unfairly. Nothing is transparent. Management is fixated on some score card metrics rather than to really push the costs down. This place is swamped with Consultants....You really don't want to ruin your career here. There is no open door policy and if you complain you are in line of fire. Every manager and director is obsessed with expanding their kingdom rather than working for the good of the company....its all top down,...No bottom up initiatives

Advice to Senior ManagementBe transparent & fair. managers incentive systems should be tied to lowering the costs , doing more with less.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

ProsFamily-like business. Everyone takes pride in their work. Work from home capability is wonderful and staff is treated with respect

Constoo much work, and not enough staff or time. Hiring more staff would be a step in the right direction.

Advice to Senior ManagementManagement could hire more staff with experience. Although the work from home option is incredible, the dispersed staff makes thing sdifficult at times.

Current Employee – been working at Molina Healthcare

Prossome good coworkers. my job is interesting.

ConsVery 'corporate' driven, doesn't feel like there is a lot of decision making left up to the healthplans. Lots of extra work filling out forms for everything. Difficult to work with corporate staff. Feels like the senior management make us do a lot of reports and extra work for no reason other than they want to know something that doesn't pertain to the decision they are being asked to make.

Advice to Senior ManagementHire people at corporate that actually have customer service skills so they stop treating employees at the health plans like they are the enemy. They are often rude and downright meanspirited. It is very frustrating to deal with many of them.
