Pros

Wellmark culture is okay, the C-suite leaders are respectable. Salary is quite a bit below average for the market, but benefits are good. They aren't enough to make up for the salary though.

Cons

The audit team is a mess. Soon to be 100% turnover in the last 3 years. Only consideration for advancement is years of service, they don't care about effort, impact or advancing your education/certifications. Leadership has no emotional intelligence and often makes team members cry. There is no upside to being on this team, hence the turnover.

Great Employer!

Pros

I have worked for Wellmark for over two years now and have seen such a great effort by an employer to create a comfortable and inviting work experience. Not only do they provide a great environment, but they have great benefits! From being able to push a button on your desk and have it raise to stand and work to their state of the art, full service gym which is FREE to all employees and one family member! They offer a full range of daily classes which includes spinning, personal training, massage therapy and a wide assortment of gym equipment. Not only that, but they pay you to go to the gym! Very few employers offer both a 401k with a 4% match and a Pension at 6% of your earnings, as well as a Medical Retiree account of $3,000 per year. Then, there is the college tuition with no waiting period of up to $15,000 per year and student loan repayment of $5,000 per year after one year of employment. There is covered parking in the winter for all which is priceless in Iowa and you do not have to leave for breakfast or lunch because they have a full-service cafeteria offering both breakfast and lunch. Then there is the bistro where you can get your latte or daily fresh popped popcorn. They encourage professional growth and make it possible to move across business lines to other areas, as well as offer resume assistance.

Cons

Wellmark has the same, expected challenges as does any business, but if you have to go to work for 8 hours a day, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
