Pros

Benefitfocus is a unique, lively and upbeat environment in which innovation is constantly present and thriving. Employee programs and fun events make it a fun place to be.

Cons

The amount of work allocated to each employee is not always a feasible work load. However, when taken in context of the massive growth in which the company is experiencing at this time, this may be seen as a growing pain that will be appropriately resolved with time.

Pros

Commitment to excellence, fast-paced environment, strong corporate culture, care for associates, work hard and play hard, opportunities for growth & advancement, collaborative environment, smart people who care about what they do every day

Cons

I don't know if this is really a con, but Benefitfocus is not for everybody. If you don't like to serve clients, work hard, commit yourself to excellence, immerse yourself in the culture and voice your opinions, maybe think about working at a different company or a comfy government job.

Pros

There are some great people to work with at Benefitfocus. You can get some great entry level experience if you're willing to work some pretty insane hours.

Cons

Long hours, low pay, little to no opportunity for advancement or challenging work unless you're in the right circle of friends. Be prepared give up your weekends while being aware that you should be thankful that you have a job.
