Pros

Benefits (medical, dental, etc) were good overall. Most of the regular employees (except the managers, executives, supervisors) were good, honest, hard-working people. Pay was decent, but could be better.

Cons

As a highly experienced professional, I have worked at several corporate positions within this company for more than 2 years. These positions (and departments) lack basic organizational skills. You had to figure out how to operate quickly with little to no training in a dysfunctional, chaotic and unorganized environment, which causes high stress on a daily basis. The managers and supervisors set unrealistic expectations with little to no guidance if you need help. The organization simply doesn't care about you. Experienced and talented health professionals are taken for granted at this organization, and are treated very poorly everyday. This company does not want you to succeed at their organization, nor after you leave the organization. Entrepreneurial and innovative ideas are highly discouraged. This company has a very high turnover rate. I have known many talented individuals who have left this terrible environment! I couldn't rate this company a "0" star so I had to put down a 1-star rating of this company.

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Treated like call center employees and not the professionals with advanced degrees that most health advisors have. I feel like I'm in elementary school again having to ask to leave my desk Salaries are too low for the work experience and level of education.

Pros

Pretty good benefits and pay is reasonable. Many of the employees are great people; unfortunately that stops as soon as you hit management.

Cons

Very dysfunctional management that create a culture of intimidation and coercion to keep people stuck in their positions rather than help them develop their skills, tools, and assets to the best of their ability. Small minded and pettiness seem to be virtues of the CEO as well as many of the middle level managers who often are insecure as many of their 'supervisees' are actually more qualified and educated than they are in many areas. Subsequently employees are not treated professionally but rather they are perpetually 'babysat' by management with many of the same techniques used to 'punish' them as in elementary school (i.e. they even call them 'time outs'!)
