It could be so good

Pros

Nice campus, clean restrooms, exercise programs and they will pay for some education. 401k and mostly nice coworkers. Health insurance benefits are just ok.

Cons

Top heavy, constant reorganizations. They talk agile but are dinosaurs. Contractors are replacing full timers. Contractors also brought in as project managers who don't know anything. Constant management turnover, lost knowledge, delays. There is a culture of fear due to the layoffs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Over the last 18 months, Premera has seen several reorganizations across the company as we work to align ourselves with our customer and purpose. With that structure largely in place, Premera is poised with amazing people to tackle the road ahead. We'd like to clarify that the article you reference regarding Glassdoor was not in an effort to solicit good ratings, but to ask Premera employees to share their experiences. We appreciate the time you have taken to share your perspective and want to thank you for your support.

Pros

Great coworkers, decent benefits, telecommuting, fair wages and great initial training.

Cons

If you are lucky enough to get a supervisor that knows what they are doing and knows how to be a supervisor you will do well. However, if you get one of the many supervisors that should not be in the role...good luck. I watched one team get fired one by one because that supervisor didn't lime those people. She made things up with out offering proof or following co.pany policy. People used to have opportunities to correct mistakes but those pros were nor afforded that opportunity. They say are culture is changing, and I agree, but for the worse.

We appreciate you sharing that you find Premera's compensation, benefits, and training valuable. Coaching and development of Premera employees is vital to both the employee and the organizations success. We would like to clarify that if an employee is terminated from Premera, it is not a decision made lightly. However, we recognize that seeing someone released from the company can feel unsettling to those team members who remain. We'd like to encourage you to reach out to your Leader if you have questions. Please keep in mind that Leaders and Human Resources don't share the specific information regarding employee terminations out of respect and privacy for the employee. Reports made to Premera's ethics line are listened to and taken seriously. Should you have concerns or if you would like to discuss the ethics process further, you're welcome to seek resources available on our intranet or speak with Human Resources for more information.

You're absolutely right, Premera is undergoing change. Change and evolution is a constant for growing and successful organizations. Premera's change over the last couple of years has been transformational. We are grateful to all Premera employees (you!) who are working hard to deliver on our new goals. We want to thank you for your review. It's wonderful to hear you find value in your work-life balance, benefits, and those around you. Thank you!
