Pros

The employees are wonderful people just trying to make a living.

Cons

I don't even know where to start, but to anyone considering working here RUN and don't look back. Everyone is simply miserable and hates their jobs, but feel trapped by the pay and benefits. Fear based culture where Management is told to threaten our employees with non-competes if they leave. No training or mentorship and the max increase we can give employees for job promotions is 7%. Multiple unqualified Directors having affairs and partying on Highmark's dime. The employees are well aware just too afraid to say anything for fear of being fired. They lie to their clients to cover up mistakes and have lower level employees deliver bad news to clients so they don't have to be held accountable. Highmark is a truly disfunctional and abusive workplace. Their reviews on here were so bad HR asked us Managers to put positive reviews to help their image....Disgusting propaganda and a truly unscrupulous and immoral company. Leaving was the best decision I ever made.

Corporate Finance is TOXIC! run far away if you can. Constantly doing RIFs, will gaslight you and blacklist you if you even try to post out for another internal job. Management is dysfunctional.
