Don't even bother looking at this company

Pros

Health benefits are okay - but disappointing considering this is a health insurance company Some 401K match - but disappointing considering how well executives are paid PTO is decent - but not on par with other large corporations

Cons

Where do I begin? If you're considering joining this company, do yourself a favor and run away as fast as you can. The company is plagued by poor and disconnected leadership, incredibly low morale, no strategy, no vision, and no action plan. Everyone I know there is looking for a new job and fighting to get themselves on a list for a severance package in one of its layoff rounds. There is so much back-biting, vicious, and unprofessional behavior, especially at the VP and SVP level. No one is proud to work there and it's nothing more than a paycheck until people find something better at another company. All of this is compounded by the fact that health insurance is falling apart as an industry while the executive team makes millions of dollars in their paychecks on the backs of people who are on Medicaid and Medicare. It's just sick. "Innovation" there means developing products and services that allow the company to layoff more people and save more money so the executives can further pad their paychecks. And the worst part is that the leadership is actually proud of their motives and brags about them. I know people who have left this company because they developed severe anxiety thanks to bullying by their leaders. It's a hostile place. So happy I found another opportunity and left the company - it's like a huge weight has been lifted and I'm in a much better place now.

Pros

Working from home and the nicest co-workers who are always willing to help. Good benefit package but forget taking the time off promised when hired.

Cons

Poor management and terrible work/life balance. Expected to work unlimited overtime 6 days per week without any additional compensation. High employee turnover. People are so over tasked and overwhelmed they just walk out. My friends have all found better paying jobs for an hourly wage elsewhere. The pay is terrible if you count the hours worked. This is basically a sweat shop for RNs. Training was terrible. We were clueless and managers even more clueless so we had the pressure of being unprepared and having to figure it out on our own. Extremely stressful work environment.

Pros

Ok benefits but could be better for a Fortune 200 company that is a Healthcare Provider. Nice friendly staff. Time off during holiday/winter break.

Cons

Lack of vision, lack of management, lack of training, lack of incentives and zero perks. Benefits could be better including bonuses.
