Pros

The environment is very health focused, respectful and inclusive. The Des Moines offices are environmentally lean and green; offer an awesome fitness facility and health focused cafe. The benefit package is unparelleled - the tuition reimbursement program is best in class. WIth a commitment to learning, inclusion and innovation, it is an incredible place for opportunity.

Cons

The insurance industry is complex. With health care reform upon us, it has become even more of a challenge to educate customers and consumers about the changes. This isn't a bad thing -- just a reality that all insurance carriers are dealing with.

Pros

Insurance gets a bad rap in the community - Wellmark has a great business model that is focused on our members and our Leadership does a great job of educating us on the model and our mission so we can help carry that message. I feel proud to represent our company. We also have a great set of benefits including a wonderful building which has led to many administrative savings and better productivity - not to mention a lot of opportunities to become healthier between our cafeteria and work out facility!

Cons

Insurance is a tough industry, risk adverse and (generally) slow to implement changes. Wellmark is no exception. The company's leadership works hard to manage change, both transformational business changes and changes to facilitate health care reform measures, but they come slowly and with many levels of approval.
