Pros

Great opportunities for work/life balance. The company is very large so there are many opportunites for internal job transfers or promotions. The company is also very invested in telecommuting.

Cons

Poor pay. Poor bonuses. Poor benefits package. Health benefits are a joke. They are forcing everyone into HSAs so that the company has very little responsibility for providing any health care coverage at all. Every year an employee survey is conducted which is a joke because every year employees convey dissatisfaction with the compensation package and nothing is ever done about it. As a matter of fact, upper management completely disregards that portion of the satisfaction survey results

Large Company -- It's what you make of it

Pros

Lots of opportunities because of the size of the company, particularly if you are OK with moving (especially to Minnesota)

Cons

Size makes for challenges in communication, matrix structure and multiple acquisitions adds to complexity Lack of a unifying vision -- opportunity to truly be "a health care company that happens to do health care"
