Pros
Elevance pays well and have good benefits.
Cons
Working at Anthem/Elevance presents challenges, particularly for women and African Americans in the St. Louis region. The office culture predominantly favors white males, with no representation of women or people of color in upper or Senior management. Unfortunately, many African American employees in my division have either resigned or been laid off due to mistreatment. Filling out those complaints and going to HR will only get you in further trouble. Don't do it! You will become a target. It's noteworthy that most employees in my division originate from Central Missouri but operate in the Eastern region. While I acknowledge this may not be reflective of the entire company, as I've heard of African Americans in other departments having different experiences in other regions of America, it's gets interesting newcomers/current employees from other region come for meetings or short-term work, they often witness these disparities and seek to leave. In my department, the workplace environment feels outdated, akin to the attitudes prevalent in the 1970s. Welcome to the good ole boys club. It is crucial to protect oneself by thoroughly documenting all conversations and issues for yourself because you will receive no help.
