Pros

Way back when, it was a great company to work for. I actually thought I would retire from BCBSF. However in the last 4 years, things have drastically changed. Upper management claims to be cutting costs, but the upper tier continues to receive skyrocketing salaries and bonuses. The cost cutting is all coming from the "reorganization" of work and subsequent layoffs.

Cons

You have to speak the language and live the BCBSF culture. Promotions are applied for and rarely given. BCBSF is no longer a stable place to work. For the past few years, layoffs have been announced every single year.

Pros

Its a large, stable company, extremely good pay and benefits, and most jobs require 40 or less hours of work each week. The stress level is very low, the people are friendly, the facilities are excellent. Process is stressed above results, so if you have had any government experience, you will fit right in. A very bureaucratic organization, so if you learn the right paperwork, the right rules, can make pretty PowerPoint presentations and can say yes to maintaining the status quo, you can advance quickly. If you agree with others constantly, you can advance to a $200,000 job very quickly.

Cons

If you are a results oriented individual who enjoys change and challenges, you will be quickly disappointed. You must learn six-sigma techniques even in situations where they are clearly inappropriate.

Pros

Biggest employer in county, good benefits, convenience locations, nice facility, variety of jobs, nice people work there, and company is a well respected employer in community. You can learn a lot there but don't think of it as a career -- think of it as a training job and then move on.

Cons

Women have few management opportunities. The company is wealthier than ever (with record number of customers, highest reserves ever, and highest revenues) yet they are laying off and outsourcing. In addition, they are doing it in a stupid fashion, laying off the people with corporate knowledge and outsourcing the work overseas. Raises are few and far between, management is very dysfunctional and they mess with your head. A friend was laid off two weeks after winning a major award for being a great employee. People are denied raises and promotions, yet are given little chocolate kisses with thank you notes. The broadbanding salary ranges keep you from ever getting a raise. Most people have job titles and are in lower salary broadbands, yet are performing duties above that title and broadband -- for years at a time -- and are not promoted or given raises. Many people think age discrimination is happening with the layoffs, but to get a severence package we have to sign a contract saying we won't sue.
