Pros

Job security, WAH, good work environment

Cons

Good benefits but at a very high cost to employee. Does upper management pay for their retiree medical? I doubt it. I've worked at Aetna for years, often fending off recruiters not only because of loyalty but in anticipation of my retirement benefits, only to find that now I can theorhetically retire, those benefits have been taken away. I have a medical condition which makes individual insurance unrealistic. The thanks I get from Aetna is to take away my medical if I retire. So I have to stay. So much for valuing and rewarding employees - my scorecard always shows that I exceed expectations. Too bad Aetna didn't live up to theirs.

Pros

relatively stable, good benefits and salary. They go out of their way to portray diversity in ads and brochures. So overbaord you'll hardly ever see a white male.

Cons

layoffs always possible. Political change could hurt company.

Pros

*Flexible work at home options *Great training classes *Good career opportunities *Good communication, they really go out of their way to make sure employees understand the goals & challenges of the company

Cons

*Raises are lousy, they are always highlighting that they "pay for performance" but don't tell you that you'll only get a 3-4% increase, even if you get the hightest rating on the scorecard. *Promotions are rare and if you do get one, they combine it with your "merit" increase...on my last promotion received about 3.5% for yearly raise and promotion increase
