Pros

-Good work life-balance for anyone not a Manager or above -Offers decent experience in health-plan setting to add to your resume -Work itself is non demanding; decent job if you're just looking to clock in and out -Offers 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) for some positions

Cons

-Work itself is pretty boring - projects are not exciting or complex -Most employees are hourly, not salaried, and pay is decent but certainly not competitive -Leadership is not the best and brightest by any means - most don't seem to know the most basic principals of management or leadership -Technology and resources are way behind Not a place for career-minded folks

Pros

Benefits are decent and there are telework positions

Cons

All positions are now hourly, HR has a high turn over and run a “friends and family” environment. Complaints are not taken seriously and I have unfortunately witnessed a series of retaliation related events in various departments... specifically and most recently from the current CIO, COO and HR Reps which has been a huge disappointment. Very uncomfortable gossip culture. Managers are not held accountable for bad performance, dependent mistakes or unacceptable behavior. Very little career growth opportunity.
