Enjoyed going to work- they had a lot of pot lucks
U/M Representative Specialist III (Former Employee), Denver, Colorado –
Pros: pot lucks, great benefits, always learning
Cons: people calling in absent alot
Learn something new each day, not a boring job

The job responsiblities were always changing so there was always new things to learn. There was always work to do.

Management was in California and my co-workers were very young so consequently there was alot of socializing and people called in absent alot.

I enjoyed learning my job and how it effect – more...  departments down the line. – less

Leadership and Marketeers
Staff Vice President, Marketing Communications (Current Employee), Thousand Oaks, CA –
Pros: one company one team; associated awards; luncheons
Delivering medicare and compliant marketing materials is our team goal year over year. The team I lead I would describe them as passionate, eager, innovative and well versed in medicare marketing guidelines. As I presented opportunities to improve our customer experience they were front and center. I believe in them and they believed in me and saw the – more...  vision I would present to them. We continue to embrace the changes brought to us and continue to deliver the best "compliant" materials that have differentiated us in the marketplace and has won us an award. – less

the company was very employee oriented with great benefits
Telephonic Nurse Coach (Former Employee), St. Louis, MO –
Pros: paid pto for part time work, very flexible with requested schedule changes
Cons: no one left in the office, no it support at night
responding to computer dialed calls to members who had agreed to participate in a telephone wellness education program--required documenting while talking to the members about their concerns and teaching them about different aspects of their chronic health condition
i really enjoyed engaging with the members and helping them to learn how they could – more...  best manage their health issues to prevent exacerbations. I really think that too many patients leave their doctor's office with very little information about what is wrong with them, A lot of the people I have talked to, aren't even sure what or why they take their medicines. Knowing what is going on is the first step to being able to take control and manage the condition.
management was very supportive and always helping us to do better
the hardest part for me, was talking and documenting at the same time – less

Very Educational
Claims Representative II (Former Employee), Mason, OH –
I learned many of things: How to process Medical/Facility claims. How to read and understand Medical Benefits. The importance of Customer Service. How important CORE Values are to customers and Employees. My Co-Works were a joy, I am happy I had the opportunity to meet all of them.

Nice building to work in. Included a cafeteria to eat in and order lunch from. Security was important.
Provider Service Rep (Former Employee), Middletown, NY –
Pros: once a month we had food parties.
Cons: having 80 calls in queue
I would generally get into work at least 15 mins early each day as there were several screens to sign into and you needed to be ready to take phone calls at 8:30 sharp. Bonuses were given quarterly which ws a plus and your breaks and adherence was part of your bonus. It was rewarding giving people information they needed in a timely fashion and hearing – more...  their relief that a procedure was covered. Other employees were always willing to help out if and jump on the phones if we were getting backed up. The most tedious part of the job was if someone called and needed 30-40 medical codes looked up to see if they were covered. – less

Company that encourages higher education and continuous improvement for self advancement and also encourages relocation to excel oneself forward
Cobra Customer Relations Representative (Former Employee), Eau Claire, WI –
Pros: flexiblilty to make up time and the paid time off
Cons: corporate america attitude
A typical work day would include taking up to 80+ calls from customer service members and working on the required continuing education goals or self improvement goals. The co-workers are pleasant. However, management may seem pleasant but has not gained any trust from employees.

I have learned that people are very important and they need to be treated – more...  with respect and they should be "Wowed" at any opportunity you get. The people were the most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Typical Office Setting
Claims Examiner (Current Employee), Middletown, NY –
Pros: flexible work hours (depending on your position)
Cons: no job security
The best thing about this company is that they do allow your room to excel and grown in the workplace but lack the resources for you to do that. Their compensation packages is lacking and the management varies from cubicle to cubicle.

Enjoyable place to work from home
Senior I.T. Project Manager (Current Employee), Atlanta GA –
Pros: off premises worker
Cons: shortage of project managers, long hours
WellPoint is an overall great company with management support and adequate tools for project management. The typical work day is 10-12 hours. The hardest part of the job was shortage of resources and funding. The most enjoyable part of the job was working from home.

Productive and fun place to work
EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (Current Employee), Thousand Oaks, CA –
Pros: environment
Cons: constant organizational changes
In the finance department, no two days are alike. Fast paced, the only thing constant here is change. my co-workers have made this place a great place to work at. Everyone pitches in and helps anyone in need. The most enjoyable part of my job is my boss. She is truly the best person I have ever worked for. It is a great company to work for.

Ok place to work
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Woodland Hills, CA –
Cons: rude people. no benefits.
Wellpoint is ok place to work if you have nothing else to do. I would not work in customer service though because people are rude. Also, its sort of strange working for a company that provides health insurance then them not providing any. You would think that they would give free health insurance.
