Pros

-Good pay -Good benefits -Overall decent management -Great company culture. There's a "champion team" that really tries to do cool events and keep employees engaged. -Diverse work environment

Cons

-Lack of organization (sometimes people just seem lost. From management and down) -Terrible project management. No forecast of work demand whatsoever, so thursday or friday you'll be told that there is an urgent need for saturday work -LONG hours during open enrollment (but you can't be mad at that, they tell you up front) -Ignorance of internal talent. Always hiring management externally -Kind of a lateral playing field. No clear options for advancement or growth -Zero percent professional development. Long orientation and then you are thrown in to learn as you go and these are people's ACTUAL HEALTHCARE FILES THAT WE ARE HANDLING. that is frightening. -Numbers driven. Emphasis on processing a certain amount of files. They are moving towards measuring quality. But it hasn't quite gotten there. You can fly by if you meet "tracker" numbers. MAY get audited. Scary scenario as well when talking about people's ability to access health care.

Pros

On paper it is one of the best companies to work for in the area. Great benefits including free employee health clinic, event tickets, and competitive time off/holiday/benefits/401k match. Hours are very reasonable in most departments. Rapid growth means job security, opportunities for advancement, and transfers to learn new disciplines.

Cons

Company culture is poor. Managers, Directors, and Executives micro-manage and don't empower staff to make decisions. No accountability for poor performers, bringing down the morale of hard workers. It pays the bills and affords a nice work/life balance, but does not progress your career or provide any fulfillment from the work day.
