too much work, not enough benefits or time off - Anonymous employee WellPoint Employee Review

Pros

the team is really great; I've learned a lot; there is a gym on the premises, but you will rarely have time to use it

Cons

we are asked to do more and more every day with fewer benefits and smaller percentage of bonus, the calculation of which is nebulous to begin with. The cost of insurance is ridiculous!!! Systems are antiquated and overloaded and are constantly malfunctioning while the work is constantly piling up; management doesn't seem to really have any idea about what the team members actually do, or how difficult it is to complete everything as accurately as expected (96%, or you're on a performance improvement plan) within the time frame designated by management (which seems to get shorter and shorter). Behavioral health is the stepchild of the company.

Pros

The company culture, people, and work environment are great. The pay and benefits are above average except they are skimpy with PTO.

Cons

The workload is insane. (I work in IT.) Projects are promised based on what will make the managers look good, not on what is realistic. We never have time to do anything right, so we frequently have to make time to do it over. And that time comes out of our personal lives, those of us who have managed to hang on to one at all. We knew going in it wasn't a 40 hour week, but it has gone from the occasional 45-50 hour week to 10 x 6 or 8 x 7 as the norm, and we are on salary. We get resources too late in the project to train them to be much good, and training them takes time away from the time we can spend doing everything because we have no time to train!
