Pros

As a company doing business for a long time in a traditional industry, it's established, has credibility in the market, good benefits and community ties. A lot of people make careers here. It's also a humble company, compared to places like Aetna & United, which translates to a less cut-throat, dog-eat-dog culture -- generally, people get along well. Because health care is undergoing so much change, there's a lot of opportunity at the company for creativity and professional advancement.

Cons

Because people come and stay, some get complacent or are stubbornly committed to old norms, which can be frustrating to deal with for those who embrace our changing environment. Also, historically, building and maintaining a strong culture has not been a priority (former CEO was a ghost), so it was up to individual departments and leaders to engage their teams. Some did it better than others. Things are shifting in the right direction now with greater focus on company-wide culture and employee engagement, but there's further to go.
