Pros

Solid benefits: 401k (with company match), medical/dental, PTO - 10 days in first year with increased accrual for additional years of service and/or promotion. Flexible schedule: many positions within my department (operations) provided the ability to establish own work schedule outside of "core" business hours of 9-2:30. There are also opportunities for telecommuting. Casual work environment: dress code is relaxed for a large health insurer (allows for jeans), headphones allowed.

Cons

Excessive middle management, bureaucracy and reliance on policies and procedures. Employees were treated as "cogs in a machine" in general with little room allowed for independent thought or creativity. A majority of work tasks were volume-based and often felt redundant or unnecessary. Poor communication from the VP level on down led to abrupt lay-offs with no forewarning that was being considered.

Premera Blue Cross Response

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that you felt the communication and opportunity to be creative was lacking. Based on your role within the organization, some roles can be more production based than others. We want to work with individuals to ensure the appropriate fit for their needs, skills, and growth for their role. We are happy to hear you found our benefits to be solid and would like you to know that starting in 2016, from day 1, employees begin accruing PTO at a rate of 20 days per year, plus a floating holiday, and additional days for years of service!

Pros

Remote job Good pay Decent Benefits

Cons

Overbearing, toxic management who don't really care about you as a person and your health, it's all about getting those numbers, I'm guessing that is how they receive their bonuses. People on the "team" who are not nurses makes you question why they needed some that were RN's. Unclear goal, unsure what it is that this position actually does for their members. Micromanagement.
