Pros

Somewhat flexible work schedule Nice campus Commute Great co-workers who care about the job they do

Cons

Poor communication to associates on many topics Major layoffs for associates and promotions/raises for executive leadership Morale at an all-time low Zero job security Extremely top heavy management Associates used to have so much pride in working at Premera. There has been so much negative press about Premera in the last year that people don't have that same pride any longer.

Pros

The worker bees.... but with the dramatic change in the culture, even this has lost value as people are fearful of what is yet to come.

Cons

Everything. Premera has nothing to offer as they do not value their people and they certainly do not live up to their so called values.

Pros

Premera has been a great career fit for me. I appreciate an environment where my work and ideas are valued. In general, the atmosphere is very collegiate, supportive, and collaborative. In my experience, there is opportunity for learning and growth within the organization. I have found great work/life balance and flexibility in my position, which is very important to me. Fantastic benefits, free parking and a beautiful campus are among the many other perks Premera provides.

Cons

Yes, there is a lot of change happening within the company. In my opinion, without change there cannot be growth, advancement or innovation. However, not everyone views change this way which can create friction at times.
