Pros

-The people are great -Training is good -Good insurance -Work life balance

Cons

-Horrible pay -Monotonous, dead end work -Little opportunity for actual advancement or conversion to from contract to full time at your client site (their policies robbed me of a potentially VERY career advancing, lucrative opportunity at a major brand-name corporation, and I'm gonna be REALLY salty about until the day I die). -Managers keep merging teams together in a very unproductive fashion -Empty promise after empty promise from people who claim to have your best interests at heart, but are still managers in the end

Pros

It was a much needed check in a time of need

Cons

Management seemed uneducated. I dnt know about cognizant as a whole but their eligibility department needs help. They focus on the things that do no matter. They were at risk of losing this contract, so now it’s whatever they client says, they do…no push back including making us do disability cases, that we had no previous knowledge of. In the beginning I was getting OT like crazy. Then they stopped it talking about it wasn’t in there budget, and at times when we needed someone to work/stay late. They are not consistent and the other employees there, are looking for other positions, too. Not to mention, myself and another employee were the only ones there for the longest. It’s a mess.
