The Cigna Group Reviews

Pros

Flexible work hours and benefits

Cons

None great company to work for

Pros

-Lot of room for lateral and upward growth/transitions and on-the-job cross-training -Flexible hours (depending on position/ management) -Basically just your totally average/expected corporate experience of today (including average benefits, PTO. minimal 2% raises) -Experience depends a lot on your manager/dept, but even bad supervisors constantly change positions so you don't really get "stuck" in a bad place

Cons

-Minimum raises even for promotions (even if you switch to an entirely different pay grade/position type/dept, you'll end up fighting for <5%) -Lack of $incentive to stay means constant/unnecessary mistakes by new hires because no one can afford to stay in one job long enough to master it (majority of ppl are new hires in every position) -LOT of blatantly unfair "HR-sketchy" type favoritism, esp re: hiring/promotions and leadership roles -Good positions are all hand-picked/recruited when they do allow applications, but also "reassignments" where ppl start new jobs/promos seemingly outside of any HR process -Constant changes/ "transitions"/ restructuring with really poor top-down communication- lot of confusion on actual plans/end-goals and very limited/secretive info -Overall lack of accountability whenever working with matrix/internal partners often makes your job unnecessarily difficult

Pros

Direct team was mostly great. There are developement opportunities if you seek them. They walk the talk for community involvement. Give back/charity programs are great.

Cons

For a healthcare business, the available healthcare benefits are horrible and expensive - between premiums and dedictibles - plan on a good chunk of your salary going to paying for your benefits. When you have over 3000 unfilled roles, pairing someone who's role is being eliminated with a recruiter to find them a new role isn't that difficult - especially when role reduction isn't performance based. Merit raises & bonuses are NOT based on merit or contribution - it's based soley on budget. Even if someone has contributed, is NOT on any written program and hasn't been provided opportunity feedback all year may potentially get a zero bonus or merit because managers are told to NOT give everyone something. It is very demotivating. Not all managers are trained to provide 1:1 coaching throughout the year and will surprise employees so they can justify not providing adequate salary increases & or bonuses. The people who are promoted are typically the ones who speak a good game - they aren't necessarily the strongest people on the teams - they are the ones who don't respond to emails, ignore workloads - but BS upper management the best.

Pros

Cigna's leadership is sharp. The CEO David Cordani is a brilliant guy and he seems to surround himself with very sharp and capable people. They are heavily geared toward growth and always looking for ways to expand upon current offerings to strategically tie them to new opportunities to increase revenue and earnings. Pay is good and benefits are good too. Good performance is usually recognized but...

Cons

Cigna is a LARGE company and politics are a huge element of climbing the ladder. Also remember that large companies have to contain a certain amount of political correctness too so if that's not your bag you may find it a little off-putting as Cigna has more than their fare share. Sometimes there are territorial maneuverings among certain leaders/divisions which can cause frustration at the Director, Manager and Associate level due to mission creep but it kind of goes with the territory.

Pros

Lots of long term and short term projects without having to consistently be micro-managed by current supervisor. Freedom to work at your own pace and take breaks whenever you want or need. Work bonuses annually

Cons

Moving up the ladder is currently a very big challenge even though you will be doing more than what your band level is required. No clear reason why some associates are chosen to move up while you are doing more or equal to the same amount and difficulty of work. Some supervisors/managers don't know or just don't care what is going on as long as the end result is what they want.

Pros

Decent benefits. Paid time off. LOTS of room for growth. You constantly see people moving up - so the opportunities are there for those that seek them. Good employee resources such as fmla and counseling.

Cons

Benefits are much better the longer you are there. Experience varies greatly by location.

Pros

Remote work, and okay pay. Great hours depending on the department you are put in.

Cons

Your experience depends on what supervisor you get. Terrible system issues everyday, training was trash, nothing was hands on and your expected to figure it out. Turnover rate is extremely high.

Pros

Lots of flexibility with scheduling and remote works. Descent benefits, lots of advancement if you take the unitive to do so. Tuition reimbursement available and they have contracted tuition rates with certain institutions so that you pay $0 out of pocket after your reimbursement payout. Also no time owed for tuition assistance, it’s a great perk.

Cons

You would think a health insurance company would have stellar benefits but the are just average, could be better, but could be worse. Lots of headaches if you need a procedure or non generic medication.

Pros

remote work from home job

Cons

wasnt very flexible with scheduling

Pros

Laid back, management cares, progression made clear

Cons

For the intelligence needed the job pays low...
