Pros
Large company. Opportunities for growth nationwide for conformists, the easily manipulated and controlled.
Cons
Anthem leadership in Texas are the worst. They have tunnel vision and mom and pop sized business mentality or thinking in a large corporation. Anthem leaders has also discriminated against military Veterans, tenured employees with disabilities, pregnant women, non-degreed tenured employees and elderly women. No support from Human Resources: Although they have an HR Department and more than enough HR Specialists; instead, they utilize a third party department of inexperienced college students to resolve ongoing and new internal issues and even legal issues. This department known as ARRT is really there to protect the company and does not support employees. Houston Texas Provider Relations Dept is managed by leaders unfamiliar with the territory or account management therefore, has a small-town mentality and unfamiliarity when it comes to managing expanded territories such as Greater Houston/Beaumont which has caused an ongoing high-turnover in the Provider Relations Dept. This Department has a revolving door. Management's priorities and goals when it comes to employees are dull, asinine, juvenile and does not help the company or employees grow. They will do whatever it takes to make themselves look good. If you plan to accept an opportunity with Anthem, then plan to be exhausted. Plan on lack of recognition and low raises which has led many employees to leave the company to go do the exact same job with a competitor.
