Pros

The people I worked with when I got there 6.5 years ago were intellegent, innovative, friendly, cooperative, and had a shared sense of purpose.

Cons

New management came in and cut staffing to increase profitability. This resulted in subject matter experts being replaced with contractors who had absolutely no idea how the business ran. Some people were hired back at a hefty premium when it became clear that the new folks were useless. Some project are years behind because new management cannot articulate what they want, and the new IT people couldn't supply any background help. there is a sense that if IT would just disappear management wouldn't look so inept

Pros

Company car, not much else

Cons

Sales Directors are the bottom of the barrel High expectations and the numbers/data suck No cell phone allowance Goals constantly increase and change The best part, Senior Leadership is weak, they can say anything they want and get away with it Who knew a Director could use curse words and make jokes about k!!ling someone that is a Vice President of one of the largest insurance companies in the state and just move on in her job Hard to believe that level of toxicity is tolerated Comments about LGBTQ from the health plan just go ignored Insanity at its finest
