Pros

Healthcare sector is growing; good sector to be in at this time and economy. Denver is a great city as well

Cons

Managers treat employees like crap. Promotions are unheard of, unless you are in the core group of people who suck-up to their managers The perception is that external hires are always better than promoting from within.

Pros

It was a much needed check in a time of need

Cons

Management seemed uneducated. I dnt know about cognizant as a whole but their eligibility department needs help. They focus on the things that do no matter. They were at risk of losing this contract, so now it’s whatever they client says, they do…no push back including making us do disability cases, that we had no previous knowledge of. In the beginning I was getting OT like crazy. Then they stopped it talking about it wasn’t in there budget, and at times when we needed someone to work/stay late. They are not consistent and the other employees there, are looking for other positions, too. Not to mention, myself and another employee were the only ones there for the longest. It’s a mess.
