Pros

Some pros are the benefits received, Gym utilization on-site, surrounding area when it comes to lunchtime... To be positive, HMSA is a great "name" company to work for in regards to experience. Everyone knows HMSA if you live in Hawaii.

Cons

You will literally drive yourself insane here. The benefits don't compare to the amount of stress employees go through here. The pay is mediocre (which is understandable because it is a non-profit org). Employees are constantly being micro-managed, being asked more of them in regards to job duties, and ultimately being let down by their own supervisors, who most of the time lack the knowledge they need to support employees under them. In my case, I've needed to seek therapy due to the expectations and lack of appreciation HMSA has for their employees. A game room and a yearly luncheon in my opinion does not make working here bearable. Supervisors and higher are being glorified for mediocre work, and employees under them suffer the consequences. There's a lack of transparency in regards to management - worker conversation, and it's notable how depressed people are here.

Pros

Flexible work schedule working from home is an option

Cons

No standard training, they fail to train you and then when mistakes happen they act like it is your fault when you were never given direction to complete task, it is blown off by management as human error on trainers part but you are shamed for it, management got to that seat by being there since HS uneducated and untrained as managers, managers afraid of conflict, HUGE discrimination issue. If you are not Polynesian don’t work here you will be outcast, the pay is TERRIBLE. Don’t waste your time and energy go work at COSTCO or Walmart and make more money with less headache.
