The problem at Amerigroup Tennessee is that they let long-time managers/directors drive-out good talent. When I was hired, I was sold a "Marketing Coordinator" position, but ended up serving as a administrative assistant in essence. I was relegated to making copies, ordering lunches, typing documents, reserving conference rooms, managing fleet car, etc. and had very little actual marketing-related tasks. For the first few months I continually asked for more responsibilities and tasks, which ultimately was met with a threat of termination. My department had a turnover rate of more than 50% because the Director had such a consistently negative attitude toward her staff and no one was doing the job that they were sold. She also had a hard time executing on plans and would frequently change her mind without communicating to her staff. Further, she would heavily scrutinize our schedules and calendars--would even call to ask where I was even though I had the appointments or meetings listed on my public calendar. All of this created an extremely disorganized and hostile environment.



The health insurance plans were also less than ideal. Expensive premiums with high-deductible and minimal coverage.
