Pros

It's a job with decent pay and benefits

Cons

Management lacks any common sense. Supervisors and above are not hired from within so have to be trained by the department's employees. Blue Shield fires or lays off the seasoned employees who dare to speak the truth and replace them with the young "yes" people. Blue Shield starts as a decent place to work but within a short time you see the ignorance, favoritism and politics.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
