Pros

Great company. The right size to offer opportunity, but not so big that it gets lost in bureaucracy. Treats employees very well! Great facilities, great benefits, strong leadership.

Cons

Honestly hard to come up with any.

Pros

Co-workers are terrific. Team members are empowered to make decisions. Onsite restaurant and gym. Lots of extra-curricular activities. Provides a very good work/life balance. Not only does the company say they value internal and external customers, but they show it.

Cons

Sometimes folks aren't able to progress in their careers quite as fast as they would like to.

Pros

Teamwork within a department and between departments is better than I've seen in any other company. Senior leadership is clearly driven to grow this organization and are great to work for. Who wouldn't love the highly subsidized restaurant (and Byron's cooking), fitness center, film festivals and the massive Summer Event! I hope I win the grand prize this year - my wife would love a free vacation!

Cons

The recent WellPoint ownership period was rough. They bought us and sold us again within about an 18 month period of time. They implemented tons of changes, then about the time that we got used to them, they sold us and we had to go through more changes! Not 1-800's fault, but it's been a big change season here!
