CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield reviews

Clueless management. Letting a manager stay when she can't keep people on her team, averages 150% turnover, and abuses her employees. Upper management takes huge bonuses while severely limiting or freezing raises for the average employee and charging more and more for employee benefits. The Board of Directors rubber stamp whatever the CEO wants, they are asleep at the wheel.

In the scramble to remain competitive in a market in which the company is constantly losing marketshare, there are many quick decisions made with the expectation of quick implementation and poor leadership to make that happen. It is hard to be a part of an organization you see wasting thousands of dollars on initiatives manned by costly consultants/contractors who are friends and family of executives but are incompetent (one $200/hr contractor could NOT put together a workplan- not even just bullets!!) when you know that there are families scraping together money to pay their exorbitant monthly premiums. There are many initiatives started and not completed due to inadequate time permitted to plan. In addition, promotions were awarded to "friends" of the CIO instead of the competency of internal staff. Especially difficult for minorities and women in IT.
