Cons
Working at Cigna was not a good experience. I never loved it there. When they went to Banding - as opposed to the salary grades the Administrative Assistant lost ground from the midpoint to the market value. Of course this benefited some - mostly the higher ups who were already making alot of money. The money is not good and the raise are lousy - maybe good year is 2.5% no more. Also, when you work as an AA, I had two situations where my managers kept adding in more and more people for me to support. This was done so he/she could appease the peers they had and the matrix partners. So essentially I was working for the same money - no compensation was given for the extra work, there was no reward for the extra support at the compensation time and it was a demoralizing feeling but I was being required to please more people and it couldn't be done all the time. Most middle managers - (maybe not all, but alot) - and this applied to the Band 4 and Band 5 managers have a strong sense of entitlement and feel superior - they can be rude and mean to those below them. I think this results from them making so much money and have an overestimated sense of importance. They get away with treating others like dirt because when push comes to shove the higher manager will tend to give then the benefit of the doubt and/or back them up. Alot of the time people go without reporting so saying anything about these managers who can be abusive because they know it will be futile. Insurance is o.k. but every year you are getting less and paying more for it.
