Pros

Benefits are good, if you need them, but its hard to make elections unless you and your dependents need all or none. The mission and vision are refreshing and ambitious. Management encourages you to stick to a 40 hour week and won't give you access remotely without a bunch of special approval. Its nice not having to expect a long work week and to see your area clear out at the same respectable time every day.

Cons

Pay isn't great, it isn't even competitive. I took a cut coming to this job hoping for a better work life. I still end up stressed because I feel like I don't have any influence over making things better. There are opportunities to move up in many areas when you're starting your career, but when you get to the middle you start to notice the opportunities aren't there much any more. This is when most leave HMSA. They need to create ways to keep middle career people interested or help them move up. It seems there are 2 paths to management: pay your time (most leadership has been around 20+ years) or be the favorite pet. This way, you end up with people who have been around too long and are stuck in their ways, or you end up with people who really don't know what they're doing. Its not uncommon to see someone running an area they have little to no experience in.

Pros

somewhat flexible schedules and location, great people to work with, has a garden and a gym in the building.

Cons

Lack of clear career path, lower-than-average pay, unstable department organization. Employee benefit getting cut each year while the executives got raise on top of their million dollar salaries regardless of company's performance. Some management(managers) can be pretty bad.

Pros

It’s a job. It’s a job in a place where it is difficult to find a job. Pay is not competitive at all, but yet it is still a job. Don't think of it as a Career because there is no growth anywhere in the company, it is just a job. They have tons of them, but continue to tell you how lucky you are to have a job.

Cons

HMSA owns around 80% of the market share and so their bad business practices and poor treatment of their employees, radical waste of their member’s money, and abuse of their physician community is considered ‘allowable’. This is an incredibly racist group. They confuse culture for racism and take no action when negative activities and abuse are around nearly every corner. This view leads to a negative view of leadership itself as they foster it, or ignore it completely resulting in zero accountability. This is a place where threatening speech are prominent between employees. If feels almost as if you are transported back to high school, and the building security is like Fort Knox. Why would this be if there was not a ton of disgruntled employees and or extremely angry members? They import talent from the mainland and yet the employees hate people from the mainland and treat them poorly, and ultimately chase them away. Training is nonexistent, and when improvements are suggested or attempted by the people they have imported, the level of criticism and harassment is taken to a whole new level. The level of talent turnover is astounding. Producers fall into two categories. The very hardworking, and the people that refuse to work and believe they are so self-entitled, that just showing up to work (always late) should be enough to continue to collect a check.
