Pros

A pay check and good people to work with.

Cons

No Good health benefits are give to employees. If you are single with a child or children, the best benefit they have to offer is $300 a month in premium, $30-$40 copay and $3500 deductable before any claims is paid. They have absolutely no respect for their employees. Management don't care. They are there physically to get their big checks and bonuses..

Pros

The environment is very friendly and so are the people, The compensation in general is higher than what most health insurance companies offer. There is a lot of opportunity for growth and advancement. In a time where many employers are cutting salaries and laying off employees, Humana is not going through mass layoffs. They are also expanding their business, adding an in house Specialty Pharmacy.

Cons

Management does not treat the employees as well as they should. I have had multiple roles at Humana, through promotions, and I have noticed that even when you move up, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be given any more respect that what you were given in your previous role. Specifically, if you have to take time off, even if you have accrued time to take, you are still penalized if you have a sick day every now and then. You are given "occurences", which can lead to termination in a short period of time. The only people who are protected when they get sick are those who have filed and received FMLA protection.

Pros

Job stability is a real plus. This work environment is very large and you can find people here that are truly dedicated to working to improve healthcare and the member experience. The environment is really entrepreneurial and new initiatives can be initiated at small levels fairly easily for a Fortune 100 company.

Cons

It is a gigantic company that lacks true cohesiveness. Leadership has a tendency to be selected via seniority over talent/skills and that favors the persistent or lethargic employee therefore middle management ends up being the most ruthless and CYA-ish group which deters true thought and true innovations. Humana does not reward to its own vision. The employees that stay are mediocre at best and have a tendency to be like their middle-managers lethargic and resistant to work. The company is fragmented into deep silos even within its departments.
