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 In my department, the workplace environment feels outdated, akin to the attitudes prevalent in the 1970s.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.

Pros

Good Benefits and insurance Groceries benefit School reimbursement Gym benefits Hospital indemnity Insurance Remote work convenience

Cons

Pay rate never really goes up. Prefer to promote inexperience outsiders than from within. Low pay At the whim of Manager Favoritism Political Pretentious Metrics based of friendship with Management Hard to move up of you don’t suck up to a Manager or be political or be part of their click and group. QIP is also at the whim of the manager. Faulty metrics where you are blamed for FCR failures even when you fixed the issue on your first call and but because the member called in multiple times to other associates who didn’t help. Or do their job, they blame you for first call resolution when you never talked to the member till you resolved it. This is really messed up and it affects your QIP.
