Pros

Talented management. Company generally considered a leader in its field. Commitment to innovate and to find profitable ways to reduce the number of uninsured people. Good opportunity for advancement due to size of company and its large portfolio of businesses.

Cons

Slow moving (sometimes, it takes weeks just waiting for decisions) and political ("let's have a pre-meeting for the pre-meeting, so everyone is on board in the actual meeting"). Relationships count more than job skills for promotions (a plus for some, actually). Pay and benefits are so-so. Many employees don't like the high-deductible health plan (only medical option offered) because it's very costly for those with chronic conditions (incl. pregnancy).

Pros

Good customer service seems to be a priority.

Cons

Managers cannot compensate employees fairly. Corporate gives you a percentage of employees you are allowed to give an "exceed expectations" in your department. One year I had one more employee than I was allowed to give an exceeds to, and had to decide which one was going to be downgraded to a "meets expectations" which gives them a lower raise in salary. This was unethical in my opinion, and I didn't like it or think it fair. One of the reasons I left. Maybe this has changed since I left, becaue there's a new CEO. I hope so!
