Wellmark reviews

Actuarial management is incompetent. As an example, it was over 2 years after the SOA released the updated exam schedule for management to finally release the updated study program. It took them almost 2 years to even start reworking it and it was only after several students brought it up on multiple occasions. Several people had sat and passed new exams before the new program was released. Management has people work on the same projects repeatedly with management unable to think of new ideas. Management up to the CEO is very opaque / non-transparent about where the company is headed and what individual contributors are supposed to do. Company surveys are completed with the results never released to employees. Employees are required to be in the office every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Actuarial pay is very low compared to actuarial departments in other companies. Like $20,000 lower even at the pre-ASA level. Company health benefits are shockingly bad. High cost, high deductibles, no company contribution to the HSA.

I wish we were still working the 1 in the office hybrid work model.
