Pros

- Decent benefits for a smaller company, especially since the health insurance is through a national provider and not in-house. (Ironic, isn't it?) - Flexible work arrangements (remote, multi-site, in-office outside of COVID times). - Nice offices in both OKC and Tulsa. - Pockets of really nice people that care about the insureds. - You honestly do get to help people.

Cons

General: In short, the company can't get out of it's own way. For example, rather than face its issues head-on, realistically and pragmatically, they do things like run internal campaigns to post positive reviews on Glassdoor. When in doubt, look at the bursts of activity - especially in the Sept 2020 timeframe - those were "make us look good" campaigns because a bad rating makes hiring difficult. This is a misguided strategy that gives a veneer of quality, while the underlying rot remains. Management Support: I will say this in response to many of the "management is bad" comments I have seen here; these can be tracked up the line beyond the Manager and even VP levels to where their hands were tied by the CEO, and refusals to support these non C-Suite leaders resulted in them working long hours to push as little pain down the line as possible. In general, there is an extreme lack of consistent direction, bordering on incompetence, and a complete lack of perseverance to see a plan through. This ADD method of leading has caused fits and starts for years. Fair Treatment: There is also a noticeable level of favoritism in the organization; as an insider, it isn't hard to look and see it in progress. If you do something the CEO likes, you are a darling for a while - until a new darling enters the scene. You can cut that honeymoon time even shorter if you answer a question honestly and not as a sycophant, or even if you attempt to contribute to the corporate direction / strategy as the leader you are - you are then branded and excommunicated from the club. I know, favoritism is real in all companies, whether innocent or malicious, but it's at a whole new level at GlobalHealth. It's sad, really. I saw a lot of good people come and go during my time, and most of it came down to no longer being the CEO's favorite. That's no way to lead an organization, and that's no way to inspire greatness and loyalty in your team. Outlook: As long as the company continues to run as it has it will be flat, gaining and losing market share when larger competitors change strategy.

Pros

Potential Pros of Micromanagement: Ensures accuracy in high-risk tasks where mistakes are costly. Provides clear direction for new or inexperienced employees. Maintains tight deadlines by closely monitoring progress. Prevents major errors in highly regulated industries. Offers quick feedback, helping some employees improve faster. (But long-term, it often backfires by stifling autonomy and trust.)

Cons

Micromanagement destroys trust, kills creativity, and crushes morale. Employees who are constantly monitored feel undervalued and disengaged, leading to frustration, burnout, and higher turnover. Instead of fostering growth, micromanagers create a culture of fear and dependency, stifling productivity and innovation. Key Problems with Micromanagement: Demotivates employees – People perform worse under excessive control. Increases turnover – Top talent leaves when they aren’t trusted. Hinders innovation – Employees stop taking initiative. Damages company culture – Resentment builds, collaboration suffers. Companies that empower their teams with autonomy see better performance and employee satisfaction. Micromanagement, on the other hand, is a major red flag for job seekers—it signals poor leadership and a stressful work environment.
