How employees describe working at HealthPartners
The public story bears no comparison to the private reality
Work is good and nice
Communication! There's hardly any and its poor quality when it's there. They also need to improve at follow-up/follow through. Stop hiring friends/family with zero skills, and not teaching them skills and also refusing to discipline no matter the level of infraction, including drug use.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Lack of communication runs rampant, poor leadership with clear favoritism for friends, no follow-up or follow through by leadership. They dont care about proper training. The thing that makes this job is helping patients and good benefits. However, they want to take benefits away.
Scheduling of loca l dental services.
