Pros

Decent benefits but not outstanding.

Cons

Every year around September they have a "reduction in force" that involves senior level IT specialists. This is so the salary information on the books looks better at the end of the year. Then they bring in off-shore or green card workers and expect that they can get the same amount of work done. Because they can't produce the same volume or quality of work, the remaining workers take on extra work and get burned out. Then after working yourself 50+ hours you are rewarded by eventually having the reduction in force happen to you.

Pros

Great great benefits, willing to take chances with people outside of health insurance industry. It's a nationwide company with many opportunities if you're willing to relocate. Largest competitor is United Healthcare Group. Many middle and upper management have come from one of the other competitors in the field. The culture is somewhat conservative but generally keeps politics out of the workplace. Upper management is quite approachable and if you have a good idea to improve the bottom line they will listen. This company takes compliance very seriously, so be sure to ask questions if you're ever in doubt. For a large company, they do quite well at initiating change quite rapidly compared to others. This is a great company if you want to enter the sales and marketing side of health insurance.

Cons

Unfortunately upper management seems to change often and with each change there is the potential for a company re-org. Everyone tends to fear that their department may be axed at any time. They used to pay quite well, but as of late they appear to be slashing starting pay rates for many departments. Their biggest Achilles' heel is IT which has to manage so many different types of databases from all their years of acquisitions of other companies that data is hard to manage properly. Unfortunately, much of their IT seems to be outsourced.

Pros

If you're young and need education assistance - this is the place to be.

Cons

very clique - if you're not with the 'in-crowd' then you can't progress. HR is a joke - they are no help if you're having internal issues. This list could grow since cuts to benefits are just down the road a piece.
