Run Away and Don't Look Back! - Anonymous employee Premera Blue Cross Employee Review

Poor leadership, underfunded projects and a vague company purpose make it difficult to get things done. The "do more for less" attitude is prevalent. There's a lot of greed at the top tiers of leadership. The Let's Be Clear initiative to simplify language for customers and employees is great. Premera's senior leaders should take a lesson. Create some easily understood company goals and regularly refer back to them. You can't just keep saying "Improve customers' lives, yadda, yadda ..." HOW?! How are you going to do that? Lay out some projects, build in milestones, share those things with EVERYONE. Cascading the company strategy through one email to certain leaders isn't particularly effective. Oh, and for God's sake, provide coffee for your employees. Give me a break. How cheap can you be?!
