Pros

You get health insurance coverage but you will need it as working for them can be sickening.

Cons

Pseudo Non-profit company, they are very much about profit behind closed doors.  They pressure field reps to meet an unattainable quota to enroll  every minorities that they can find in the ghettos  into their medicaid managed care plan with no regards to your work/life balance.  This pressure results into working beyond your 8 hour shift and on weekends and you get no overtime pay.  This is how  this company strives to make much of its  profit.  Managees are ignorant and completely out of touch with reality.  I doubt they possess any more than a GED/ high school/community college and that goes for the field representatives as well. Corporate bosses plays managers  like fools and they don't eve know it as this  job is the best they can do.  There was a lawsuit filed against them which they settled for several millions for failing to pay their field reps. overtime, the majority of whom are minorities.

Pros

Good Mission, nice coworkers, work life balance

Cons

Leadership does not have oversight over all VPs/management, and many departments are toxic and have mass exoduses. Departments are siloed, sometimes there is no clear departmental strategy, employees get yelled at for voicing opinions. would try to get honest insight about potential team before joining.

Pros

- Low stress - Good/flexible hours and remote working (even before pandemic) - Good spot to start out out of school or with little experience for someone wanting to get into the analytics field - learning SQL, Tableau, and some python/R (if you want)

Cons

- Mediocre comp and basically no bonus - Vertical mobility appears to be a challenge for certain groups in the analytics department - Certain more 'advanced' groups try to do data science projects without any real knowledge of the caveats in the data and appear to provide little actual value..... constant 'proof of concept' projects without real results that a business can actually interpret - Most of the data is not very well known (legacy data system) and can be messy - Most of what is actually usable for business units is basic reporting and so your ability to do real complex AND meaningful analytics work is very limited
