Premera Blue Cross – “Working at Premera Blue Cross”

Pros

The people are the best reason to work for Premera Blue Cross. There is a true sense of team spirit and willingness for everyone to pitch in when projects are at their toughest.

I'm also really impressed with Premera's stand on ecological and earth-friendly topics. We have a beautifully maintained campus that has thriving wildlife on it. Additionally, our new food service vendor shows a commitment on the part of Premera to support and provide options for a healthy lifestyle for it's employees.

The size of the company is another plus. It's big enough to be impactful and "well-known", yet small enough to keep the culture warm and friendly.

Cons

The parking isn't the greatest (though Premera does provide offsite parking with a shuttle service). Work/life balance is good but only if you're in a team that's lucky enough to have it.

Advice to Senior Management

I would suggest a firm commitment to improving the work/life balance for all teams across the board. That might mean making an investment in more people to cover all of the work that's required to run the company effectively.
