      I worked at WellPoint full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Good work / life balance
      Plenty of Paid Time Off and / or medical leave available
      Paid training with OK trainers
      Amazing medical insurance coverage

      Cons

      HR is located in India
      Office politics are ravenous- much like 200 cougars alone and hungry in the wild
      All management cares about are green numbers
      Rude customer care reps are awarded with gift cards and candy because they help save the company meager amounts of proceeds by literally yelling and/or shutting down member's requests for help with finding alternatives to pay their medical bills etc., whether it's only 1 penny or $1,000,000.

      Empathetic personality types: DO NOT WORK FOR ANTHEM! (no, seriously. don't do it... no matter what they promised to you...)

      Advice to Management

      stop rewarding customer service reps when almost all their calls are rude and above the level 10 on any given volume knob

      Get HR out of India!

      Pros

      Benefits and the people. Paid training and additional perks.

      The trainer I had for my training class was unprofessional. Attempted to isolate some people and put others on the spot.

      To do random surveys on the quality of the instructors pertaining to overall character and social skills within the training course.
