I did a quick calc of my work hours in 2024 and 2025. I’m going to be working 1% more in 25. The April 1% pay raise is wasn’t really because you all worked so hard. It was Maurice making you whole for taking your PTO in July. If you think... — read more
Where there is smoke there fire
Which is the most unethical department at HCSC? Judging by the threads on here let’s be honest there is more than one so show of likes once the department is named let’s blue pulse ourselves…
Blue Pulse, I'm hearing the #'s are the worst ever
Folks really dumped on leadership and the scores are are awful.
Leadership pay raises last year
Wondering where the savings is going for your PTO? https://www.chicagobusiness.com/insurance/blue-cross-blue-shield-illinois-execs-notch-big-raises Maurice Smith 26% raise to $28M Milton Carroll went from $9.3M to $17.7M Opella Ernest 21% increase... — read more
Productivity? Remote Monitoring?
Does the company monitor remote workers? For example, monitors the amount of idle time or clicks?
Most unethical place
Good luck attracting younger talent. Exit interview was pointless. Do your managers come in 3 days a week? Are you teaching your director who makes triple your salary how to PRINT? Thank God I didn't waste my time. Bologna.
HCSC is a SCAM
never even heard of this company. It's not blue Cross and blue shield. It's a white organization trying to pander to minorities with African American "leaders". I can't afford my meds and they don't care. I can't afford parking and they don't care... — read more
Worth it!
I think the angry people are the minority. I don't care how many of our vacation days they take away, its worth it to work at one of the worlds most ethical companies!!! Whose with me, team?
Are you kidding?!
So PTO accrual, PSWD, etc are updated on HR. A new hire (hire date of 7/1-11/30) is given the full 7 PSWD/WDD for 2024. So given that veteran EEs have likely all used their 7 days, a new hire can start 2025 in a much better position than seasoned... — read more
Boycott Blue Pulse
If they cared about our opinion they would act on the overwhelming complaints they are getting for taking away MORE of our PTO. Yes, more. Last year they took 1 day to "comply" with the Federal Holiday. The true results are never revealed anyway... — read more
My understanding of the PTO events
TLDR: HCSC leadership strategically planned for employees to use up their PTO in 2024 to minimize carryover into 2025, prioritizing company PTO obligations over employee well-being during potential layoffs. In November 2023, an ordinance was passed... — read more
Blue Pulse, is it annoymous or not?
I really want to share how I feel, but I am worried HR will be able to link my answers back to me. Does anyone know?
Leave negative reviews on Glassdoor
Hey everyone, I know that we are doing our best to complain to our bosses, upper management, look for new jobs, etc. However, if you have the time, leave a negative review on Glassdoor now (it's anonymous). If they want people to quit, that's one... — read more

HCSC Is Still Lying
I just got off of a call with the Vice President of Total Rewards that was for lower level leaders to ask questions. Even though it lasted an hour, a lot of our questions went unanswered. He couldn't explain why HCSC waited until now to tell us that... — read more
My future is not with HCSC
I can no longer recommend this company to friends. I can no longer say I work for a company that cares about its employees. I will no longer go above and beyond for a company that does not go above and beyond for me. I will now begin updating my... — read more
Unlimited PTO
Fun fact: The C-Suite execs don't even have to enter any PTO into Workday at all, it is unlimited for them. This might help explain why they are so detached from the impacts of this recent change to all of the working class people below them.
What day are we all going to call in sick?
Some have suggested tomorrow, July 5 but I think it needs to be further out so we have more participation. Friday will be a slow day anyway. The day chosen needs to have impact. Hurt the powers that be. I would also suggest we not log on to the... — read more

New PTO policy another slap to the face from HR/Executives, how can we make our voices be heard?
I feel like executives/HR just hide behind departmental manager's/vp's to do damage control when they make unpopular decisions like they made today. I love my team, I love my manager, and I like the work I do, but decisions like these make it really... — read more
PTO Changes
Enjoy having two fewer days off, and changing the rollover policy mid-year so anyone who has already used their diversity days this year gets the shaft.

Corporate Strategy Job Interview

Can any hcsc employees give insight to a Cigna employee what a typical low deductible plan employee cost is per pay?
Salaries
People who are moving from Cigna have been told that their salary will be no less than it has been at least for a year. I think our salaries will drop after that time. In various roles, can you provide around about of what can be expected? Ranges?... — read more

Current Cigna MA Employee
