Great company to work for

Pros

I've been at Wellmark for almost two years, and haven't looked back since making the decision to come here. It's a great company that I've found to be well organized and well led and has a mission that I feel aligned with. Positivity and inclusion are things that aren't just talked about - both are felt all throughout the company, which I continue to be impressed by. Hard work pays off--it has been encouraging seeing deserving co-workers receive promotions or the opportunity to take on new roles within the team to continue growing their skillsets and advance in their careers. The new emphasis on matching your role to your strengths I think has helped start more conversations about where each employee wants to go to take full advantage of their natural strengths. With such a big company comes the stereotype of lots of layers of leadership (which there are), but I've found that higher up leaders are totally accessible if you show interest and make an effort.

Cons

If I had to be critical - I do wish there was more flexibility of working remote when needed.

Great Benefits, not much opportunity to advance

Pros

The company has a diverse and strong inclusion culture. The benefits are fantastic - however the medical insurance is not as affordable as you might expect. The educational benefits are wonderful - just do not anticipate promoting when you complete programs. New parent support program is wonderful. Bonus program is ethical and moral for the welfare of the members and the employees. On-site market and cafeteria are good options. Company pays well and expects the work to be at a high level. You will earn your pay.

Cons

Very difficult to advance. The company has a CEO of your career program that touts helping advancement but they are not that willing to promote from within, even if you use their education assistance program. This city has a lot of insurance companies and since Wellmark generally requires 4+ years for any exempt level position, it is very easy for them to find seasoned employees outside the company and therefore easier to hire externally than to grow their own employees. If you are looking for a place to grow and promote, this is not the place for you, go to another company to get the skills and experience and then apply here to move forward. Opportunities that are given tend to be more of "who you know" than "what you know or what you can do". "Work from home" is not an option. Some technology seems to be behind - the phone system is terrible. The building temperatures vary greatly from area to area, never know what to expect - always have layers available.

Pros

I am so thankful to work for such a progressive, inclusive and supportive company! I truly feel that they care about taking good care of their employees! I happen to work in an area with a wonderful team environment and I appreciate that. I have never worked for an employer that made me feel like my work and my opinions matter. I really do matter here!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any down sides - the people are great, benefits are wonderful, pay is awesome - really nothing to complain about!
