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

Good Benefits and insurance Groceries benefit School reimbursement Gym benefits Hospital indemnity Insurance Remote work convenience

Cons

Pay rate never really goes up. Prefer to promote inexperience outsiders than from within. Low pay At the whim of Manager Favoritism Political Pretentious Metrics based of friendship with Management Hard to move up of you don’t suck up to a Manager or be political or be part of their click and group. QIP is also at the whim of the manager. Faulty metrics where you are blamed for FCR failures even when you fixed the issue on your first call and but because the member called in multiple times to other associates who didn’t help. Or do their job, they blame you for first call resolution when you never talked to the member till you resolved it. This is really messed up and it affects your QIP.
