Pros

Potential to make a 600$ bonus per month.

Cons

Poor training. Thrown into the deep end poorly prepared and definitely a learn as you go. Company changed the bonus metric from achievable to not really and one of the items that determines your bonus ...if a patient says they would recommend optum. You can do all you are able to help but if they are mad a t the conpany? It reflects in your bonus.
