Pros

coworkers are great, but that's pretty much it

Cons

Work life balance is horrible...you only have two 15 minute breaks and a thirty minute lunch...every single minute must be spent on the phone, otherwise. Even if you do well during the annual enrollment period, during ROY (rest of year) you will be miserable.

Big let down

Pros

Decent pay starting out but over time it becomes restricted. Worked with some good management members directly. Work/Life balance was decent, benefits were okay. They have good intentions and processes, but not everyone follows them.

Cons

Biggest downside is if you are not in the "in crowd" or good friends with people in power positions it is very difficult to get a promotion. Promotions tend to be more about who you know rather than what you know. Saw many people promoted to positions that they were not qualified for (small things like using microsoft excel, knowing the processes, familiarity with the systems, etc). The communication between cross-functional teams is very poor, almost non-existent. Hard to do you work when changes are made and not shared with other areas affected by the change. Leadership can be spiteful, almost to the point of a witch hunt. Personally felt attacked on numerous occasions when bringing concerns to management and then being told that you are not a team player. No mentor programs or anything to help associates gain knowledge in other areas they may want to move to in their career. Moving freeze that is in place for 6 months at a time really kills morale.

Pros

Good salary, great PTO policy, good holidays, great tution, covers CEU's. Very generous with time off- I have been there 3 years- and have had Christmas break off every year. Front line leaders and directors very supportive of school.

Cons

There is nothing I can say that is bad. I have been there 3 years- and it has pretty much all been positive.
