Pros

Management really cares about their employees. The benefits are fantastic and the pay is good. Very generous vacation, sick, and holiday pay. They actually listen to their employees I couldn't ask for a better company to work for.

Pros

flexibility, vision insurance is decent, overall good culture, no drug testing/invasion of privacy.

Cons

I was fired over an error I didn't know I was making. No coaching, nothing. I worked there for 6.5yrs, awards, promoted twice, clean HR record... They function off of a pipe dream! Hostile working environment. I've already consulted a lawyer and the EEOC for wrongful termination. My director fired me after being on that team for 6months... Ironically it was 3-4wks after I disclosed I had a learning disability AND during a string of mass layoffs. I have thrived everywhere in this company, however the corporate Director for Ambetter Grievances and Appeals is a tyrant and his fake princess manager is another useless and condescending piece of work.

Pros

There are no pros, unless you like being a slave. This is by far the worst company I've ever worked for. Worst management, worst benefits, it amazes me they are still in business; obviously it's only because they are state sponsored. They are really great at shooting themselves in the foot to attempt to make their employees look bad and an attempt to make management look better.

Cons

No flex time, just work 24/7, don't believe the work from home bs they say you can do. Management lies, withholds pertinent information; nepotism, and favoritism runs rampant. Unemployment is better than working for this company that cheats you of every holiday, with only management getting flex time for those days. Carrier pegions are better way to communicate than the methods management uses.
