Great Organization - Messy Projects

Pros

The culture at Wellmark, for the most part, is phenomenal. Leadership encourages growth, and supports employee development. The CEO is knowledgable and accessible. Inclusion is a priority.

Cons

Project work is chaotic. The Technology Division has specific guidelines for project documentation, most of which cannot be bypassed without taking on additional bureaucratic waiver processes. Even when projects have been approved as non-life cycle, team members are still required to produce irrelevant documentation that holds limited value. Limited workplace flexibility. There is a strict "no-work-from-home" policy. Management isn't interested in considering telecommuting as an option for employees. While I don't necessarily disagree with that decision - they leave no room for event the slightest adjustments. Allowing your employees to log a full day of work when they sign on from home after leaving for an appointment in the afternoon, rather than requiring that they use PTO would make a huge difference for morale.

Pros

Lovely new building, great gym available to employees

Cons

Lack of true vision and leadership acumen in most of the managers there. HR seems to make up rules as they go, and rarely live up to procedures and policies they create and hold others accountable to. Not progressive at all, in terms of flexible work schedules/arrangements, and the culture is very hierarchical. If you're not a people manager, you're next to nothing. Welcome to 1952.
