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
