Pros

Used to be able to work from home and enjoyed great flexibility for a work/life balance.....but no longer.

Cons

The company frequently RIFs employees near the end of the year to artificially hit their Wall Street targets by reducing Admin expenses. Not a great way to do business long term and horrible for employee morale. We used to have great flexibility and the ability to work from home. This has recently been taken away. Now everyone is expected to be in the office 5 days a week. Despite living in an increasingly digital and mobile world, we are being forced back to the office on a daily basis. We are going backwards. Not only that, it has been rumored they will use badge swipes to monitor all employees to make sure we all head in to our cells err, I mean cubes in Anthem (prison). The company is not being forward thinking and progressive. I no longer have confidence in the future of the company. It lacks transparency and the communication is poor.

Pros

Competitive pay compared to many similar positions in healthcare and care management. Relatively flexible schedule, which can help support work-life balance. Excellent employee benefits package. Opportunities for professional growth and advancement within a large organization. Strong potential to build valuable experience in care management and healthcare coordination

Cons

Training and onboarding are insufficient, making it difficult to feel fully prepared for the role. Although the company frequently emphasizes that family is a priority, that philosophy applies more to members and clients than to employees and their families. Lack of investment in developing and properly training managers and leaders. Employee retention seems to be an ongoing challenge. The workplace culture does not consistently reflect the values that were communicated by the organization.
