CIGNA Reviews

Pros

Some nice people to work with on operations.

Cons

No room for improvement, no training AT ALL after New Hire training. Trainers( only 2) don't know anything more than the company manual they instruct, but nothing on actual international work.
 No lines of communication. Poor management, lots of politics and paper pushers.
Internal candidates apply for positions, but never get even an email from recruiters. Then they hire someone from outside.
Every 2 years, operations get new managers and directors.

Advice to Senior Management

Look into the talented people you have around. Promote with in.
Stop the power struggle between managers from operations. And hire a GSO director that knows what he/she is doing. Also hire trainers that are aware of the international work. Not only what the domestic side of the company does.

Limitations of career growth outside of corporate HQ
