Pros

-Excellent Benefits. -Talented and high achieving colleagues: you are able to work with some of the best minds in their respective fields. The CEO is one of the most influential people in Sacramento. All three of the Senior VPs at CMA are people of color and incredibly talented. Sacramento Business Journal ranked the CFO as the CFO of the year. By joining the team, you have access to incredibly talent and high achieving people. -Culture: there is definitely a family culture at CMA. Plenty of after work events and opportunities to socialize. Really supportive of parents and the needs that go along with being one. -Growth: managers do prioritize growth and listen to staff and what they want to do long term.

Cons

-Poor performers: CMA has high performers, but there are definitely a bunch of low performers who are kept around longer than they should. -Workload: I think this ties to the point above. High performers seem to have a high workload and it definitely shows. -Lack of accountability among managers: I think your experience really differs at CMA depending on who your manager is. If your manager is good, you will likely have a great experience. Do your homework and talk to current and former employees before you accept a position.

Pros

- good place to start if you’re interested in healthcare advocacy - fun staff to hang out with (for the most part) - Many of the senior staff are amazing SMEs, you’ll learn a lot if you take the initiative to shadow them. - friendly atmosphere (for the most part) - cool office space - staff events are actually fun

Cons

- no mobility in most departments. If you want to stay longer, it’ll most likely be a horizontal job. - social cliques at work that are unprofessional at times (based on observation; borderline bullying based on the stories mentioned by current and former colleagues. HR has not address this issue during my time there and it may still persist if you plan to join certain departments. - at the end of the day, it’s a job. Don’t get too sucked in to the promise of amazing success or experience during interviews or when networking (emphasis on hiring outside for mid/senior/higher responsibility jobs, not internal. This is the opposite of what was pitched to me during interviews) - you really have to go above and beyond if you want to find a good promotion (have to do things that will benefit the company outside work hours)
