Pros
Elevance assumed within the last few years Amerigroup and Wellpoint. My experience with the original companies, Amerigroup and Wellpoint was amazing. Leadership believed in employee growth, accountability and transformation . The CEO would visit different centers and sit among the associates to understand what it was like. That environment nurtured community, values, excellence and most of all, true interest in improving patient outcomes.
Cons
The transition to Anthem/Elevance experience was quite the opposite. Until my final year their, my direct leadership was excellent but the corporate atmosphere was toxic, repressive and divisive. Words and placating were valued over action and evidence. This type of atmosphere perpetuated an environment destined to fall short of its mission. Instead of allowing data to drive decisions, opinions, myopic visions and speculation guided decisions.
