Pros
If you're the type of person who likes to coast by, collecting a paycheck, while doing as little work as possible this is the place for you.
Cons
While it may sound great that everyone is "treated equally" in reality what it means is that 10% of the company does 90% of the work because some are allowed to do absolutely nothing of value and still collect a pay check. Salaries are well below market rate. The only people who get close to market value are executives who are recruited more for "who they know" than for the value they bring to the company. "Raises" are no more than 3% without SENIOR EXECUTIVE APPROVAL! And 3% is for you scoring near maximum on your performance evaluation. Bonuses are like mythical creatures (thanks but no thanks to the meager holiday bonus, which is more insulting than it is rewarding). Everything is for show at the executive level. A lot of middle management truly does care about their employees but they have no power to reward you or empower you to do great things. Once you get to the AVP level or above the level of apathy skyrockets and everything is politics and making sure you say the right thing, rather than actually DOING the right thing. HMSA loves to tell you it has the best interest of members at heart and many employees come to HMSA because of that, taking less pay, based upon the promise that they can contribute to the future of Hawaii in a positive manner. At the end of the day though, the decision that come from executives are all lip service. The partners they choose and pump millions of member's dues into are cronies and nothing more. They ask internal workers to vet vendors and then pick whoever took them to the best dinner or had the nicest suit. HMSA leadership is nothing more than talk and has zero accountability because they're "too big to fail."
