Growing pains, but okay overall...

Pros

For the most part this is an okay place to work. Reasonable opportunity to advance if you wish, good training resources available online and in the workplace. Pay and benefits are fair compared to the market.

Cons

Business needs take precedent over holidays, so be prepared to not have certain holidays off. You are compensated extra for having to work though. There can be quick changes in management and since Humana hires based on leadership potential sometimes rather then experience, you may end up with a manager that doesn't know much about how a certain department works.

Pros

Some of the sections are GREAT places to work. Excellent relationships with your coworkers and your boss. Humana is pretty much the big dog in Louisville and it seems like everyone wants to work here. Humana does try to do things right, but sometimes they might not be the right things. Can be committed to change, just have a hard time following through, etc. Pay can be great, if you can get it.

Cons

Seniority is definitely favored over competence. Too many managers have been here too long and just are not up to the task of leading a Fortune 100 company. What aggravates the problem is that many of the directors and VP’s are unable or unwilling to move or remove their ineffectual leadership. VERY little training given to new managers and again, most are out of their league (Peter Principle). They are on their own once they get promoted and as such most do not have the tools, much less actual experience to help them. There is a big divide between the Manager-class (who can get yearly bonuses) and the associates (who don’t). There is no standard of performance across the roles. Your promotion potential is more dependant upon the interest and qualities of your manager, than your own capabilities/education/competence/experience, etc. Some sections promote often and early and others only once in a blue moon.

Pros

If you get a nice boss, you could learn and grow in your role. Telecommuting option for some positions. .

Cons

No clear career path. Health Insurance benefits offered could be better. Lack of IT support, particularly in the Regional/Market offices.
