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

Good benefits for employee, health insurance is FREE for employee (but watch out if adding spouse/children),co-workers are typically awesome...

Cons

Despite the fact that I hold a doctorate degree and have worked professionally in my field for years, I was treated like a third grader. You even have to ask permission to run to the restroom! Feedback focuses on making sure you know how much you suck and how your job is in constant jeopardy for any number of subjective "performance" issues. Upper management is terribly stifling, works from a standard of coercion, threats, and general fear-mongering among employees. The current CEO is a grade A prime choice BULLY.
