Pros

before we received bad news you could pretend there was an opportunity for advancement with your dept or company.

Cons

not unless your a favorite, I tend to refer to the dept I'm in as the mean girls club.. If your not popular or a friend of supervisors you will not be advancing anywhere within the department. They tend to lie to get you to think you'll advance within your position but will not actually help you advance or advise you what you can do to advance. Even if you meet all the requirements or criteria you probably still won't advance unless your someone's favorite.

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.
