Pros

none I can think of

Cons

I've been observing this place go downhill since Gail stepped in as CEO. I really hoped and expected she would take things the right direction but instead it has been declining in all areas for a number of years now. For those who don't know this, just look at all the numerous layoffs this company has had. From one poor decision to the next poor decision, it is the little people under Gail who has to pay for her and her executive team's poor decisions. RIFs are rampant here. No one is safe here. One of the things she has forced is to make us return to office. Before she was even CEO, I was fully remote at this company for a number of years and giving my all and exceeding expectations. Yes Gail, its possible to actually WORK from home contrary to what you old school fools believe. I get more work done from the comfort of my home than in the office where I had to put up with chatter all around me, gossip and useless activities that took away from my productivity. From home, you got more than 50 hours a week from me. Forcing me in to the office means you don't get a minute over 40 hours from me. I will not be working until 2 AM in the office. The dept I'm in has also gone downhilll so fast I'm just at a loss for words how sorely missed my old staff vp is and as much as we hated him, things ran well under his leadership. New leadership is horrible. I watched many colleagues leave, by choice and only realized too late why they left. New staff vp promoted all her friends into leadership roles. Around here, its not what you know, its who you know. Imagine having to report to a dummy who doesn't know left from right but ends up getting the credit for all you do and getting promoted TWICE. #QDM

Pros

As with any working role, you have the opportunity to meet and learn from amazing people, and that was definitely the case at Elevance. Those teammates that were so amazing helped offset the other challenges.

Cons

New-ish return to office policy puts some employees in a uniquely bad scenario. Requirement is to return to office if you live within 50 miles of an office location. They also categorize their office locations into a traffic light system and associates are only allowed to go into Yellow and Green locations, with exceptions for Yellow in some circumstances. If an associate lives within 50 miles of a Red coded office, they are not allowed to go to that location unless they're in a certain division or department. I live within 50 miles of 2 locations I am not allowed to go to. Because of this status I was ineligible for transfer laterally, or promotion, because I could not meet the new requirements to return to office. No one would put that in writing, but it was the end result I experienced. This was the last proverbial straw for me - I was made a 'lame duck' so I looked elsewhere. I knew when joining Elevance several years ago that it was a large company who would have to then possibly treat associates as a number. I didn't notice that initially, but in the last year, I really felt like a number, or maybe even less than that. Also, annual merit increases did not factor in inflation during a time of record inflation, even though the company continued to succeed financially according to all measures.
