Pros

Elevance pays well and have good benefits.

Cons

Working at Anthem/Elevance presents challenges, particularly for women and African Americans in the St. Louis region. The office culture predominantly favors white males, with no representation of women or people of color in upper or Senior management. Unfortunately, many African American employees in my division have either resigned or been laid off due to mistreatment. Filling out those complaints and going to HR will only get you in further trouble. Don't do it! You will become a target. It's noteworthy that most employees in my division originate from Central Missouri but operate in the Eastern region. While I acknowledge this may not be reflective of the entire company, as I've heard of African Americans in other departments having different experiences in other regions of America, it's gets interesting newcomers/current employees from other region come for meetings or short-term work, they often witness these disparities and seek to leave. In my department, the workplace environment feels outdated, akin to the attitudes prevalent in the 1970s. Welcome to the good ole boys club. It is crucial to protect oneself by thoroughly documenting all conversations and issues for yourself because you will receive no help.

Pros

Competitive pay compared to many similar positions in healthcare and care management. Relatively flexible schedule, which can help support work-life balance. Excellent employee benefits package. Opportunities for professional growth and advancement within a large organization. Strong potential to build valuable experience in care management and healthcare coordination

Cons

Training and onboarding are insufficient, making it difficult to feel fully prepared for the role. Although the company frequently emphasizes that family is a priority, that philosophy applies more to members and clients than to employees and their families. Lack of investment in developing and properly training managers and leaders. Employee retention seems to be an ongoing challenge. The workplace culture does not consistently reflect the values that were communicated by the organization.
