Pros

You can rise from entry level in this company if you're willing to fight for it. Even if you only have a liberal arts degree and knew nothing about insurance when you started. The insurance offered is good. Cheaper than most other employer plans and much cheaper than Obamacare. Great 401k with the 3% match and you can borrow from it once you're vested in 3 years. Insane amount of time off from the start, 18 paid days of vacation Really good senior leadership, especially the CEO, David Cordani, he and his team have done a lot to modernize this company from where it was at when I started in 2008.

Cons

Compensation is not great for those who do start at the bottom and rise through the company, you'll find you will be consistently underpaid compared to your peers at the same level who enter the company from the outside. Some people who use the insurance more than I do complain that it doesn't pay enough and the high deductible creates a lot of stress for them early in the year.

Pros

I was based at Cigna’s Bloomfield headquarters and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I had the opportunity to work alongside exceptionally smart, action-oriented colleagues and business partners who were knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable. People knew their subject matter, provided direct answers, and consistently followed through on their commitments. The organization was highly professional, well-managed, and organized. The Wilde Building had a positive, forward-thinking energy that made it an enjoyable place to work. The cafeteria offered excellent food options, and the views overlooking Gillette Ridge Golf Club were a nice bonus. 30% annual bonus was greatly appreciated. Finally, I personally believed in the leadership of the CEO and the entire ELT.

Cons

During my two years with the company, I reported to three different managers, which created instability. One manager, in particular, created significant challenges for both the broader team and me. Multiple team members raised concerns with Human Resources, but no action was taken. The company also regularly conducts smaller-scale workforce reductions and position eliminations. These actions can occur across various departments and at different times, which creates uncertainty among employees. Because these reductions are small, they don't trigger a WARN Act or receive media attention. As a result, employees feel a heightened sense of job insecurity regarding future organizational changes.
