Pros

* There are some really great people there. * Competitive salaries * Semi-modern facilities

Cons

* Management: clueless; heavy-titled with low work product (in meetings about nothing all day); disrespectful; big on promises/small on delivery * Rampant favoritism * Not respective to new ideas; clings to past practices * Almost no training * No regard for work to life balance: Standard hours are 8:30 - 5:00. Even with the built in robbery of 30 minutes per day, leaving at 5pm is aggressively frowned upon. Senior management (VP level) can be found hanging out with each other after 5pm just for the sake of being there. Receiving "emergency" requests from management at minutes to 5pm is a very common practice. EVERYTHING is an emergency and priority. * Inconsistent: Telecommuting, for example, is not endorsed. Yet, there are departments (particularly in Rochester and Buffalo) where regular telecommuting is standard practice. * Shuns new technology: The Finance department has no electronic accounting software package. Instead, the receivable is cowboy managed via Excel. To support this madness, staff is expected to donate their personal time by consistently working past 5pm.

Pros

Met some good people - maybe 10% were good.

Cons

IT management is trying to put out fires or implement mandates/regulations with poor leaders. Paternalistic management - don't tell you anything until after decision is made. Does not seek out feedback from software people prior to changing rules of engagement. For example telling people no on-call responsibilities and then starting in 2016 "by the way, that is changed now" before talking to all IT people about how to better handle whatever issues are at hand. Also no test database available for software developers. Can you believe that? this is unheard of. Beware positive reviews. HR probably has a job to keep track of negative reviews. Sad thing is the it was announced IT were well aware of their negative reviews on glassdoor in buffalo so they are going to stop hiring in buffalo and hire more in rochester, syracuse, and albany. Isn't that totally missing the point? Shouldn't they get to the bottom of employees' complaints instead?

Pros

Average salary. Could be better for real producers. Good Health/Dental Benefits. Good Market Share. Great Mission. Some great managers. Great mission & philosophy,( which also needs to trickle out to the workers, bottom to top. ) Modern facilities in most areas. Most coworkers are amazing people just trying to do their part to help others. CEO is a good, funny and down to earth guy. Advertising is finally happening more in all markets. The best health plan on the planet, both for lower income people and higher income children and retirees. Easy to represent the product. Can't say enough good things about the quality of the product and the mission behind it.

Cons

Knee jerk management style in some areas. Poor planning in some areas. Crushing workloads for all front line staff, both in house and field. No work from home for SOME field employees, but not others. Grossly understaffed, un-empowered provider services department in outlying areas. therefore - ineffective provider services. Very understaffed HR and recruiting. VERY political. Tendency to hire butt kissers instead of true performers, or pretenders from the outside. Very inconsistent expectations depending on who the employee is. Tendency to lean on and overwork good workers and keep toxic and lazy employees who squawk loudly and do just enough to get by. Although they decent people, upper management has forgotten what challenges the in house and field employees and lower managers face. In house and cloud software is archaeic and /or barely functional. Lately feels very punitive, top -down and mean spirited. I'm hoping this will pass soon when more workers are hired.
