      Pros

      I've been with CareFirst for over 10 years. In that 10 years, I have witnessed HUGE transformation. The current CEO has spearheaded a lot of efforts to create a better work environment for CareFirst employees. There are some great things that have been implemented under his leadership. CareFirst expanded benefits and has a great work/life balance now. However, with that change comes a lot of uncertainty, and just as with any company, there are pockets of the organization with great leadership, mediocre leadership and poor leadership. There are teams that were eliminated and some that were added. Overall, I think the company is headed in the right direction. The COVID response has been fantastic and 55% of the workforce is expected to remain remote full-time.

      Cons

      CareFirst is a not-for-profit and does not pay as well as other companies in the area. Additionally, internal promotions are not equitable and do not pay market rate. The reason I am currently looking to leave my current role is because I can easily make 20-30k more in the same role at a different company. External hires are given a leg up, as they need to meet market rate in order to bring the talent in. Once you are in, unless you make the right connections, your career will stall.

      Pros

      CF really cares about all their employees. From the top down, there is engagement and communication is superb. Our values, goals, vision and mission is clearly portrayed on a regular basis within this work environment. Ethics are very important and Brian P makes it a point to remain one of the most ethical companies. He drives us in the right direction, reminding us that everything we do is to provide affordable access to care for the communities we serve. Whether you find a job in operations, service, sales, or any other division, you will be happy you accepted an offer to work here. There are volunteer options, trips and many rewards incentives for doing a good job. No crippling pressure to perform either. Pay is good, promotions are available, plenty of PTO, training is constantly provided, and management will generously help you with your concerns or problems. You will feel appreciated, supported and loved in this environment while laying your hands to important work!

      Cons

      If you are highly money motivated, you will feel capped at some point. That's really the only downside I've seen. Some folks leave CareFirst to work for a broker so that they can reach new financial goals. That's not to say you can't make big time money here, if you apply yourself and work into a VP or executive level position. However, most of our 40-50+ employees work here until retirement, so those opportunities won't present themselves as frequently as other companies.
