Pros

the ability to work from home full time or part and able to flex your schedule most times when needed.

Cons

not transparent of major changes that affect everyone such pending merger with Aetna. they get rid of the wrong people and keep the bad seeds that are willing to kiss up to them no matter what. micro-managed for unnecessary things makes it a drag to work there as of lately. no accountability to upper management for the same circumstances they reprimand other employees about.

Pros

Great compensation. No weekends or holidays. Set your own schedule. Good mileage reimbursement. Work from home 50% of the time. Some managers are very reasonable and easy to work with.

Cons

Benefits are really awful. Worst I've ever had at any prior job. Very high deductibles and even pharmacy coverage is poor. Unbelievable for a health insurance company to offer such pathetic coverage to its own employees. Some managers are very unrealistic and difficult to work with. Management seems to have shifted focus in the past 9 months. Used to be very low pressure job, but recently they have become more concerned with meeting "productivity" numbers than providing any kind of meaningful quality of care. Care managers are overloaded with enormous, impossible caseloads and pressured to meet the numbers or expect punishment in the form of more work or even heavier caseload. Much of the daily work involves coordination of services for members, calling physicians, arranging home health or equipment, seeking assistance through various community service organizations. But because the hours of research and phone calls are not technically an in-home visit with the patient, no credit is given for the work at all. Only the "number of actual face to face visits" count, no matter how brief or unproductive. Hours of work that we do before or after leaving the member's house do not count.

Pros

Great opportunity to work from home. The member's really appreciate the calls that look after them and assist them in keeping up with their benefits that nornally a flyer or letter does not have the impact a human kind voice does.

Cons

Numbers, numbers, numbers is what is stressed --- There are weeks that member's do not pick up their phones. They have appointments, family and are social and they say they get to many calls. Moving up can be difficult -yes they do look at how active you are with other activities but when meeting metrics takes it all out of you - you just want to sign out at the end of the day and be with your family.
