Avantages
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.
Inconvénients
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.
