Pros

They have incredibly deep pockets by being owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee. This allows the leadership to make one bad decision after another without risk of going out of business. It's almost impossible to get fired because of the BCBST HR bureaucracy. The combination of these things makes this a great place to hide out and do nothing. They have mostly staffed the company with Onlifers that embrace that culture. Work/life balance is great because the expectations are so low. Many of the employees do not even work 40 hours and even when they are in the office, they spend a fair amount of time surfing YouTube and Facebook. They will overpay you and provide outstanding benefits, so if you can survive in a world of mediocrity, you could probably suffer through it for a while.

Cons

If you have dreams of improving things, building a product that more than 1% of the targeted user base will use, or working with people that will challenge you to be your best, this is not for you. The entire leadership changed 3 times in the past 3 years, because BCBST is incapable of identifying talent. There are strong political forces and cronyism to ensure the status quo. A manager was once quoted as saying "I don't like to hire A players. A team only needs one quarterback." Back-stabbing and blame must be taught in the manager training courses, because it is rampant. The CEO has repeatedly announced to the remaining employees that IT is to blame for all the company's failings, even though IT isn't the group responsible for the complete lack of innovation and copy-cat mentality of the product vision. The latest leadership group has been using propaganda to counter all the negative publicity they are receiving.

Definitely not the A team

Pros

I really enjoy working with people on their health/wellness goals. It is nice to be with other coworkers who practice a healthy lifestyle. Decent pay due to being a blue cross company.

Cons

There is an underlying premise that they only hire A players, but this is definitely not the case. If you are out of work and need a job, then land a job here in the short term. But wait, when positions become vacant they aren’t backfilled most of the time. Employee base continues to dwindle, not what you would see at a company in growth mode. They had a history of layoffs – 3 years in a row. Just wait and see what happens this year. If you want to be somewhere stable, look somewhere else. Good people continue to leave and there are not many left. Don’t dare bring up any issues on how to improve or make things better, because you will be criticized to the point of being classified as a “negative” person. I have to settle for mediocrity every day until I can find another job….. This is just my opinion. Before you accept a job here, be sure to ask opinions of the people you will be working with.

Pros

Great parking, beautiful flower beds, office has good lighting with exceptional views, TVs (mostly working) are everywhere in the office so one can briefly escape the madness. Free coffee is available as well.

Cons

The blame game continues. This is been the problem at Onlife from day one. Unfortunately, the wellness market has flown by Onlife. The new mobile apps and cheaper, more robust, health tracking services in the industry will be the end for Onlife as they can't keep up with emerging technology. Management could never get it together, and they still have the same issues. I cant entirely blame local management as support from the mothership has been less than ideal by playing the CEO flip game on a 2 year average since company's existence. Also, getting a promotion at Onlife is like winning the lottery.
