No upward mobility in your career

Pros

Telecommuting (work-at-home) option in some departments. Flexibility and adequate work-life balance, depending on your supervisor.

Cons

No room for advancement, hence why I left in order to move into management at a different organization. In some departments, you report to your equal, who reports to another equal. So in essence, you have to leapfrog 2 equals just to get to a management position. Lots of red-tape in its processes. As an associate, you are just a number and will never really get heard or make a difference. Humana considers that everyone is replaceable, so when that "replaceable" person leaves, all his/her projects are thrown out of whack. They're also always looking for ways to shed employees to save money. If you think you're on your way out, chances are you probably are. Pay attention to the writing on the wall.

Pros

The peer team members are great

Cons

Certain Senior (the seasoned) management has the mob mentality! They spend hours in one office gossiping and character assination of their subordinates. They travel together for strength and intimidation. They are so unprofessional and it resembles a high school mentality.

Stifling

Pros

The pay is better than average in the industry and the overall benefits of the company are also better than the industry standard. The company does have good people working in the rank and file positions.

Cons

It is a very stifling company. If you are not part the inside circle your chances of promotion or recognition will be nonexistent. It's a company that does not promote creative thinkers. Eventually, management forces out the inviduals that really could contribute to the organization.
