Pros

flexibility, vision insurance is decent, overall good culture, no drug testing/invasion of privacy.

Cons

I was fired over an error I didn't know I was making. No coaching, nothing. I worked there for 6.5yrs, awards, promoted twice, clean HR record... They function off of a pipe dream! Hostile working environment. I've already consulted a lawyer and the EEOC for wrongful termination. My director fired me after being on that team for 6months... Ironically it was 3-4wks after I disclosed I had a learning disability AND during a string of mass layoffs. I have thrived everywhere in this company, however the corporate Director for Ambetter Grievances and Appeals is a tyrant and his fake princess manager is another useless and condescending piece of work.

Pros

There are no pros, unless you like being a slave. This is by far the worst company I've ever worked for. Worst management, worst benefits, it amazes me they are still in business; obviously it's only because they are state sponsored. They are really great at shooting themselves in the foot to attempt to make their employees look bad and an attempt to make management look better.

Cons

No flex time, just work 24/7, don't believe the work from home bs they say you can do. Management lies, withholds pertinent information; nepotism, and favoritism runs rampant. Unemployment is better than working for this company that cheats you of every holiday, with only management getting flex time for those days. Carrier pegions are better way to communicate than the methods management uses.

Pros

In Clayton you have a clean and pretty building......see Cons. Dining facility was very nice when I was in Clayton. Free parking. Free Clinic. In all, the benefits were nice, and for me the pay was acceptable and comparable to industry standards.

Cons

Well where to start. I spend the first three months of my employment in a broom closet with six other people on another team. This room was 5 x 10 foot with no ventilation. Being remotely located from MY team I was not included on meetings, lunches or any other communication until I was eventually moved to the floor. Due to the exponential growth of this company, management can not keep up with the new trends. Training was non-existant. I was told many times to just figure it out. When you did figure it out they did not like the way you did it. You will be told to re-do your work without any guidance just to be told again they don't like it. No reason given other than, "That's not the way we do it". You ask how to do it and you get I don't know, just figure it out. After the third of fourth time you are pulling your hair out. Managers are promoted because they have been there for a few years, but they have no skills to deal with people......They may know their job, but can not talk to anyone because they come in drunk or complaining because they have not taken their crazy medicine. Directors and eventually VPs know the problems and that the managers have issues but refuse to do anything about it. Management can spew a list of SOPs but can not provide anything in writing. Even though you can spend hours quibbling in emails about mundane issues like are there two or three spaces between the state and zip code on a mailer. (literally hours) VP's report savings in numbers for end of year numbers. These numbers are inflated and wrong. Was brought to the attention of management many times only to be ignored. There are too many issues with this company that are overlooked by senior management. HR was NO help at all. Be wary. If you are a YES man/woman and like kissing the backsides of those who think they know it all and it has to be their way or the highway, then this is the job for you. You have probably guessed that I one of the ones who have "disappeared".
