Could clock in from 5am to 9am. Usually as early as I could. I learned is sounds better if you say it with a smile. I loved customer service and helping clients better understand their benefits. As long as they were smiling or better understood what was going on with their issue by time I was done with them, I felt I did a good job and earned my money.

I love working here. There is job security and many opportunities to grow within.

Lack of support, vision and commitment best describe this company culture. Business units are highly siloed and knowledge is power. So cooperation bewtween units is low and knowledge sharing is guarded.

I learned there are numerous types of personalities out there and how to handle each one of them. The hardest part of the job was having to tell a policy holder their services are not covered. We had great managers and great co-workers. I enjoyed working at Great West. Wish they had not sold to CIGNA.

I've worked at Great-West for six years. It's not the flashiest employer but it's steady work. Great-West provides great services in the markets they operate in. Some areas have long hours. Good company size - not too small but not so large that you're just a number. Good onsite cafeteria at home office. Opportunity for advancement if you're a strong – more... performer. Not a place to fast track your career though. – less

over 11 yrs ago mgnt was great, people were great ..........................................................................................................................................

no opinion long hours and some employees that would rather talk than work

Longevity is a norm with this company. People enjoy working here. Management is supportive. Peers are knowledgable in their fields.

I had a change of heart and wanted to pursue my Master's Degree in Education, however due to a health insurance problem I was unable to accomplish my dream. Great-West was a great company, with vision, management, and community awareness. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone.

Was given the latitude to create new and time efficient forms for the department and organize computer file system with document control.
