Pros

Wish I had some, used to be a good company, but has gone downhill and lost focus on its true mission. They seem to forget that as employees, we ARE their members as well

Cons

This company certainly puts on a good show for the community while treating its employees like crap. All they think about is what is good for their pockets, while running everyone into the ground. There is an ambulance taking people out on a daily basis due to stress. The longer your here, the worse you are treated. Not at all the Highmark it used to be

Pros

Benefits are great. Decently priced health insurance, company 401 is comparable to other companies. They match up to 3% and then they match 1/2 a percent on the next two percent. You can move up relatively quickly, but it's all a game on "who you know." Make sure to be friends with management, or you will sit in your current position.

Cons

- There are locations in India, and a lot of the jobs are being sent there, which means "positions are being eliminated here. Please google this, and you will see this is true - Terrible corporate culture - everyone walks around scared they're going to lose their job - Work hours - you're told it's a 40 hour position. That's a lie. They want you to put in extra hours, and not just a few here and there. Expect to work 50-60 a week sometimes - They will lowball you an offer, so do not accept the first one if you want to work here. They have a bracket which gives a scale on the pay. You should go for at least the middle. If you do not they company will strickly tell you when you get an internal promotion that they can only go up to a 7 percent raise, or the minimum of the grade in which you took the new position. This is untrue. If HR tells you this, ask to speak to the hiring manager. The hiring manager has the final say

Pros

Good benefits, great coworkers, fitness center

Cons

Upper management is clueless. Expectations is for everyone to work 45+ hrs a week. They don't care if you have a family. Took away work from home.
