Pros

Pay is decent and benefits are good

Cons

Position recently was eliminate and no communication was given except that it was being eliminated and then I was randomly assigned a new job. My direct supervisor didn't even know what was going on. Took over a week to get an understanding of what was happening. When I advised that the new job might not work for me they asked if that meant I was resigning. I was brought in due to a merger a year ago with Change Healthcare. Over been in this same position for 4 years
