Strong work life balance and total compensation but consistently disappointing leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance. Strong tenured employees who are dedicated to doing what is right by the member. Total compensation is quite strong and should be given level or earnings. If considering look at PTO, 401k, pension, benefits, and bonus. You will be hard pressed to match.

Cons

Senior leadership is top down and not empowering. Approach is critical and at times reaches demeaning. Think of themselves as thought leaders but in fact are slow to take a decision and stand by it. Politics are ubiquitous and once off track rare to recover. Mountlake Terrace is an island to the north, most folks commute from Mill Creek. You're generally stuck on the campus.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of nice people at Premera, the Pay is not to bad in IT. The benefits are pretty good

Cons

Lack of vision, Lack of Technology to do the job, Multiple change in directions of Management or lack of management. Many people in IT are overworked and attempts to get more help fall on deaf ears. They have been sued already by an IT person for Overtime hours. But they still work many people 50-80 hours a week. When someone complains or tells them the truth about how things are then it seems shortly afterwards they soon don't work there........
