Pros
CIGNA is a large international company, so there is much room for career growth. You can stay in your field or change careers, all within the same company. Management is extremely open to flexible scheduling, job sharing, and work at home arrangements. Feedback on performance is given monthly so the employee generally has an idea of how his or her performance measures up to what is desired. Performance objectives are extremely clear. Job security is also a big plus at CIGNA. CIGNA also takes interest in the health of their employees, promoting fitness and providing a health center for employees.
Cons
Although performance reviews are given quite often to let you know how you're performing, these reviews don't mesh with how you're compared to others in your field when it comes to raises and promotions at year end. Often, employees are rated for raises and promotions well in advance of final year end appraisals. CIGNA's benefits compared to other companies' are extremely lean, although they allow the choice of a few levers on the HRA and HSA plans (the only 2 types of products we are offered for medical coverage). We are only offered high deductible plans. I wonder if management has to choose the same products or if they have their own "executive" plans?
