Pros

Healthcare benefits are decent enough. The opportunity of international travel (this can be a huge negative depending on personal circumstances and the attitude of your manager)

Cons

Nepotism and clique oriented cultures are nothing new to anyone that's worked in a environment like this, but Cigna take things to the next level. Eventually things devolve into pure managerial bullying which leaves hard working staff demotivated and lacking the willingness to go the extra mile. So after demotivating your staff and running them into the ground, what's the next step? Outsourcing! Don't try to fix your issues or promote a healthy work environment, just outsource. International travel is on the table for those looking for opportunities, but I found managers were too keen to mess employees around. So, if you have an unwell family member your looking after or have to make any advanced arrangements before leaving for that trip, be very careful, as the managers I worked for didn't give things like this a second thought. Unpaid overtime and toxic behaviour is the norm in this company. Burning out hard working employees and then applying bullying tactics to get rid of them seems to be a sensible strategy to management. If and when you are looking to leave, be aware than one my managers was alerted by recruiters when an employee was leaving, even going as far to brag about having a communications network in place i.e "I know people". Naturally when a few recruiters called me asking me about Cigna after I left, I brought this up and got a very defensive "We don't do that kind of thing!". Yeah...right.

Pros

The Cigna Group overall is a fantastic company to work for! They invest in their employees and do a great job ensuring everyone, in all departments/locations/teams feel as if they matter with the multitude of perks they offer to employees. Many team members were knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely committed to supporting the healthcare industry.

Cons

While employed at Cigna healthcare, I experienced a work environment that often lacked consistent communication, balanced workload distribution, and transparent leadership practices. High-performing employees were frequently expected to absorb additional responsibilities without corresponding support, while shifting expectations and excessive micromanagement created unnecessary stress and instability. Over time, this impacted morale, trust within teams, and overall employee well-being.
