Pros

Some of the people who work there are wonderful and will be life-long friends. Free snacks and beer can be fun.

Cons

Like a lot of other people have said, the compensation was in no way appropriate for the living costs in Charleston. Like most companies in the area they are behind the times pay-wise. But don't worry because according to the CEO he "never has to work another day in his life." My biggest issue was working with a VP that was hired while I was an employee. I honestly never thought I'd encounter a sexist like him. He only gives credit to the male employees he oversees and loves to promote them. He is known for throwing his female colleagues under the bus in an effort to push them out. Many people who he has pushed out have complained to HR but nothing has been done. The higher-ups love him and that is all that seems to matter. This VP has zero respect for the people below him and speaks to them that way. When he was brought on the environment changed and ruined what was a great place to work. Benefitfocus is also very unfocused and it can feel very chaotic. The way to move up is blurry and usually is more about being friends with certain people than your quality of work.
