Pros

They have very nice buildings.

Cons

Management is rarely around to manage. Because of that the on site leadership is poor and treats people poorly unless you are favored for random reasons that are selective and not always based upon performance. As a rule, there is no feedback and poor communication. Advancement is by "last man standing" and not based upon ability to manage others effectively. It is also not what you know but who you know. Bullying by management is common and time off is nonexistent. As another person indicated, employees are treated like bugs. CIGNA is also using an overwhelming number of temporary workers to handle patient information and telephone inquiries instead of hiring direct employees and they have a recent history of outsourcing and layoffs. Health benefit coverage is some of the poorest health insurance coverage in the entire city as well as in the entire industry. They only offer HRA or HSA plans. I would recommend finding another company if for no other reason than the health insurance stinks and this is a health insurance company who could well afford to offer decent coverage to their employees. If you are married, make sure your spouse has a job with better coverage and take that. If you are single or a single parent, prepare to be poor if you have an illness that requires any significant amount of medical care. Time off is hard to get and the potential for advancement is nil. I started out excited and motivated ending up unchallenged and disillusioned.

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.
