Pros

Tries to do the right thing A lot of smart and engaging people employed here Nice overflow parking lot although it is now too full most days

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of lower level, hourly employees Minimal raises - only once annually No bonuses for hourly associates Only those with stellar, super star reviews get promoted Behind the scenes politics can (and often do) hold others back

Pros

Premera has a nice physical workspace, cafeteria. There are some very good people there. Good integrity with regard to their products (despite what people think of insurance companies).

Cons

There is a culture of not sharing knowledge so that one can feel like they are "needed". Salaries are low, and as is typical with health insurance companies, they are slow to embrace technology. Remote working is discouraged, and a general sense of distrust with employees is felt. (I am not talking about employees at an entry level position.) The CEO and executive level salary discrepancy is outrageous and disheartening when bonus time rolls around and you see how wide the gap is between the haves and have nots.

Pros

easy commute. There were some nice people who work there. Nobody works all that hard so the work life balance is good.

Cons

Fear based culture. Nobody follows processes so there is a lot of duplicate work going on. People are treated with little or no respect and the salary and benefits aren't very good. My experience of going through the interview process and actually working there was vastly different. I was told things about bonuses, benefits, advancement opportunities that didn't exist in reality (particularly for women over 40). The place was a huge disappointment.
