Pros

The starting salaries are competitive. Schedules are very flexible. Opportunities are made available to gain exposure to other business units throughout the company and build on your professional skill set.

Cons

The "Rewards for Performance" system is fundamentally flawed. It essentially makes you want your peers to fail miserably so you can prop yourself up. It discourages taking risks because any failure will be highly scrutinized, so you're better off just showing up keeping things status-quo. Year end evaluations consist of managers arguing over whose employees deserve to be ranked highest. This creates a situation where the most stubborn and/or intimidating managers end up with higher ranked employees, thus making it easier for them to deliver their appraisals.

Pros

The Cigna Group overall is a fantastic company to work for! They invest in their employees and do a great job ensuring everyone, in all departments/locations/teams feel as if they matter with the multitude of perks they offer to employees. Many team members were knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely committed to supporting the healthcare industry.

Cons

While employed at Cigna healthcare, I experienced a work environment that often lacked consistent communication, balanced workload distribution, and transparent leadership practices. High-performing employees were frequently expected to absorb additional responsibilities without corresponding support, while shifting expectations and excessive micromanagement created unnecessary stress and instability. Over time, this impacted morale, trust within teams, and overall employee well-being.
