Pros

*Location *Benefits (not to include compensation) *As a Health Care provider they are great with many products to choose from for the general public and companies.

Cons

*Click mentality reminiscent of High School. If you are in the click you are golden, if not your days are numbered. *No clear advancement or succession planning, moving target to meet arbitrary set goals by management . Annual Review Process is useless. Again, you will go far & be well compensated if you fit in the click. *Much dead weight remains and talented people are forced out. *Age, Gender and Racial discrimination beyond belief. *Antiquated and outdated systems and tools to perform overall job functions/requirements. *Large volume of employees so fearful of loosing their job no matter how hard they try to meet the ambiguous expectations. This adds to the feeling of a hostile work environment and not a collaborative team effort working for the same company and purpose. *HR-Not there to provide positive support and guidance for the employee. Only protects the company at all costs! *The term "thrown under the bus" I first heard used at this company.
