Former Employee – worked at Molina Healthcare

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

Cons – This 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 Management – Do 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

Pros – Compensation and benefits are good.

Cons – It 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 Management – Leadership 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.

Current Employee – been working at Molina Healthcare

Pros – Good salary package...Work life balance

Cons – Dumb 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 Management – Be transparent & fair. managers incentive systems should be tied to lowering the costs , doing more with less.

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

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

Advice to Senior Management – Management 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

Pros – A deep-seated belief that the owners are committed to their mission statement however they seem to be shielded from the truth.

Cons – IT CIO: calculating, unqualified, duplicitous, prejudiced, string-puller who has single-handedly undermined the character of the IT department by using preferential and unethical hiring practices.
Before his arrival, the IT department was a melting-pot of cultures and ethnicities that reflects the true character of the “Molina Way”. Now, it's devolved into a dominant ethnic group and anyone outside of this circle is devoid of any opportunities unless you've compromised your integrity and are willing to carry out, in some cases, unethical and possibly illegal practices.

He is costing the company a lot of money by deliberately championing low business-value projects with hidden costs that exposes the business to more risks. In this time of economic crisis when the US workforce is at the highest level of unemployment, Molina IT has contributed to the unemployment rate by 'laying off' long-standing, Molina-loyal employees with the subterfuge that the Molina IT department was over budget. Ironically, these employees were efficient, dedicated and cost-effective in contrast with the H1B, onsite and offshore consultants that were hired to replace them immediately afterwards. Molina as an organization has acquiesced on sending almost all of its job opportunities overseas and by hiring mainly H1B visa holders for these positions.
It's shocking that Molina, being a steward of the State and Federal funds, chooses to send our “nickels” to hire predominantly non-US citizens.

This hiring practice is based on the fact that the H1B employees and onsite/offshore consultants will assume a submissive role and carryout any directive without question or without regard of the ethical consequences and also because of the risk of losing their visa sponsorship if they were to do so otherwise.

Corporate leadership has turned a blind-eye for the sake of the bottom-line in spite of the costs they have incurred to their morals, dignity and integrity.

Advice to Senior Management – The executive team has a fiduciary responsibility to investigate these actions.
