Pros

The work environment is low stress.

Cons

Management primarily made up of lifers (15+ years at BCBSA), which results in a reluctance to hear opinions that differ from norm/adverse to change. This drives high performers/newer employees to grow frustrated and turnover at higher rate. Management is mostly made of up employees who were promoted into position not necessarily because they can lead/manage, but through tenure. Senior leadership in partnership with HR removed “remote” and “in office” designation for employees, substituting with wanting all employees to be in office for a certain percentage of time , which was met with mostly positive reactions. However, leadership is slowly backtracking this RTO approach. Leadership hides behind not having a policy for this and handling behind the scenes on a case by case basis. Lack of clarity/policy is leading to confusion and employee frustration. They lean on the ambiguity of the guideline as subterfuge. HR department is a mess. Dated policies stagnate internal opportunities/fair compensation, which causes high turnover. Those employees considered the lifers only stayed because there was a pension plan (not available for employees who start after a certain time in the mid-2000s). Overall, the company is good to work at if you want to skate by with little responsibility. If you want to make meaningful change, you should consider another company.

Pros

Leadership is clearly making a genuine effort to improve workplace culture and is willing to model the behaviors and tools they encourage employees to adopt. This “practice what you preach” approach helps build trust and signals positive intent from the top. Compensation is above average compared to similar roles in the association space, which makes the organization competitive in attracting and retaining talent. Workplace flexibility is a major strength — employees are given meaningful autonomy in how and where they work. Additionally, the organization appears to take employee feedback seriously, particularly through engagement surveys and listening efforts.

Cons

Organizational change is frequent and often feels like the norm rather than the exception. Team structures and role shifts can be unclear, which creates uncertainty for employees trying to plan and prioritize their work. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs tied to restructuring, sometimes followed by rehiring for similar roles, which can impact morale and perceptions of stability. New tools, initiatives, or policies are occasionally introduced without full clarity on implementation or long-term strategy. There also seems to be a noticeable divide between leadership and individual contributors — in many cases, progress or approvals require escalation through leadership channels rather than being resolved at the working-team level.
