Fallon Health Reviews

Overall, the company is shady when it comes to how they treat employees. Management does NOT listen to suggestions on how to positively motivate employees, causing a high tension level and dissatisfaction throughout the department. There is high attrition (40+ employees in 2.5 years) due to people finding better employment, positions being eliminated (without any warning to the people losing their jobs), or termination. There is favoritism towards people who refuse to do their job, so in turn the management pass on their work to others instead of enforcing their job responsibilities. There are very few people that I know of in the Claims department that are happy with their job, and overall most people feel very underappreciated and stressed by the environment that management has created. Regardless of how they may behave towards you, the managers and head of the department (Melissa Lizotte) can deal with people in an underhanded way and do not take employees concerns seriously. The attendance guidelines are not family friendly, and do not support the company's claim that employee safety during inclement weather (building does not close during bad weather and employees who feel that it is too dangerous to drive receive an occurrence if their group is not in rotation to be able to miss work)

To the person who had the courage to write that very honest review; THANK YOU! If I knew who you were I would shake your hand. Everything you said was spot on accurate and true. I also worked at Fallon for almost 20 years. I left the company earlier this year. Like many other people stated in their reviews, I was transferred between directors and although my job never changed, I went from a 4 star employee having earned Employee of the Quarter at one point, to inadequate and "helpful to a fault". As we all know Fallon is so lean and for that reason I will never understand nor will I accept that helping my co-workers is a fault! Knowledge is power and the more I can share and mentor my co-workers the stronger we are as a whole. Maybe the fact that I knew far more than my director, as it pertained to my profession, was the reason I was no longer considered a valued employee. Unfortunately for Fallon management, direct reports knowing far more than their directors is the norm; not the exception. I encourage all Fallon employees, previous and current, to post honest reviews and support you fellow co-workers. If you stay silent nothing will change! And as to the positive reviews that are few and far between, once can only logically deduce that someone from Fallon Management is submitting them to offset thaeload and clear message that your ship is sinking!
