Pros

I loved my scrappy team. Under-manned and underpaid, we did what we needed to keep the lights on.

Cons

Low pay. Too much emphasis on internal equity, even if the tangibles and intangibles someone brought were more advanced. Lack of pay transparency, especially for calling out ‘internal equity’ as a reason to not increase pay. I left UCare for an over 50% pay bump.

Pros

Front-line through mid-level staff, predominantly individual contributors, very much care about the work and the vulnerable populations in MN and WI that are (were) being served.

Cons

From the Director level all the way up, zero competency. The ability to make even basic decisions, knowing jobs are *literally* on the line, is beyond the grasp of 99% of the managers or "leaders" at UCare. Meetings with vague purpose and no outcomes predominate. *Everything* somehow manages to be the #1 priority for staff, but is never prioritized by leadership, so again, nothing gets done, but staff are admonished or chastised regardless. Lay offs are the result of extreme mismanagement, to the point that it HAS to be intentional.
