Don't even bother looking at this company

Pros

Health benefits are okay - but disappointing considering this is a health insurance company Some 401K match - but disappointing considering how well executives are paid PTO is decent - but not on par with other large corporations

Cons

Where do I begin? If you're considering joining this company, do yourself a favor and run away as fast as you can. The company is plagued by poor and disconnected leadership, incredibly low morale, no strategy, no vision, and no action plan. Everyone I know there is looking for a new job and fighting to get themselves on a list for a severance package in one of its layoff rounds. There is so much back-biting, vicious, and unprofessional behavior, especially at the VP and SVP level. No one is proud to work there and it's nothing more than a paycheck until people find something better at another company. All of this is compounded by the fact that health insurance is falling apart as an industry while the executive team makes millions of dollars in their paychecks on the backs of people who are on Medicaid and Medicare. It's just sick. "Innovation" there means developing products and services that allow the company to layoff more people and save more money so the executives can further pad their paychecks. And the worst part is that the leadership is actually proud of their motives and brags about them. I know people who have left this company because they developed severe anxiety thanks to bullying by their leaders. It's a hostile place. So happy I found another opportunity and left the company - it's like a huge weight has been lifted and I'm in a much better place now.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Made some friends among my peers.

Cons

Disorganized leadership. Change the processes every day. Reverse racism rampant in the work place. HR is on the side of the leaders not the employees. Huge caseloads and extreme pressure for no good reason. If you get a note to be out for a short time for medical purpose, they won't let you use more than 5 days of accrued sick time. In all they will use their staff until they drop. No support whatsoever.

Pros

Great pay and schedules. Most departments offer flexible schedules. Everyone is nice. If you can get into a good department with people that has great work ethics this company is a really good company to work for. Has locations all over the US. Some positions allows you to work from home which is a huge plus.

Cons

Highschool gossip. Most people gets positions based on who they know and not what they know.
