Executive Management Problems

Pros

Mid and front line management staff are good. They are mostly motivated and care about providing good value for members.

Cons

Executive management is not impressive. They seem to lurch in one direction then another. Their communication with the organization is pretty poor. I'm consistently unimpressed with the decisions made by them.

Pros

Generous bonus, nice campus and good health benefits

Cons

Poor salary and nepotistic hiring practices. Poor technology vision and implementation. Closed management that does not listen to employees. High level of outsourcing and lack of institutional knowledge due to attrition. Low staffing ratios relative to work in the information technology space.

Re-org of the month, benefits lame

Pros

I've been able to grow over my career

Cons

Company can't figure out what it wants to be. Re-orgs at least once a year. Good leaders get laid off while weak ones stay. My spouse's benefits cost less than half of what BSCA charges me with better coverage. How does a health insurance company not provide employees with free health insurance?
