Pros

Pay increase to join company. Hours of flexibility. Use to company credit card without having to go through hassle of reimbursement.

Cons

The market I worked in was a newly implemented Health Plan. There was MINIMAL support from the Corporate level and the people hired in the market had no Healthcare experience. How can you manage and function a Health Plan without that? Workers were very unprofessional and Management and above never took ownership of any issues. Ultimately the Health Plan advised they were pulling out of the market no less than 8 months of "going live". Luckily this was something I recognized and left prior to all this. This company still leaves a bad taste in Providers mouths.

Good for a job but nowhere to go. The company itself has good intentions, but they give management too much power.

Pros

The benefits are pretty good there but I've found better.

Cons

You get promoted only if you are already friends with management or if they take a liking to a snitcher or brown noser.

Pros

The benefits and compensation were the best thing going for the company.

Cons

The company was constantly changing rules and making promises to keep contracts without having the man power to do the work. The company's focus week after week was productivity not quality of care to its members. Training was very poor and as soon as you learned it they would change the rules. HR response was very unhelpful as well as technical support. If your computer crashed you could be on hold for 45 minutes waiting for assistance. This environment is very stressful and not user friendly and.
