Pros

There are good employees that come to Premera, that truly want to make a difference. The company is doing good things for helping its member's manage their health care.

Cons

The company is very political and does not promote associate engagement very well, we are told what to do and don't have the opportunity to discuss if it is the right thing or not.

Premera's strengths and weaknesses from an associate's point of view

Business Outlook

Pros

For me, working close to home is my most important benefit. The no-commute is closely followed by the opportunity to work with extraordinary colleagues There is pride (but not excessive) in Premera's physical image--the campus is very nice and well-maintained. I have been able to expand my tech abilities thanks to abundant IT support

Cons

With health care being such a divisive socio-political issue, it is challenging to be a champion for an insurance company (even though Premera issues my paycheck). The stress to perform beyond expectations to recieve high performance appraisal marks is not healthy. This seems to be a company that does respect work-life balance as the workload for myself and all other members of my team has been overwhelming.
