Regence Employee Review

I have been working at Regence

Pros – NOT-FOR-PROFIT company that ALSO PAYS TAXES (how cool is that?), great co-workers--including managers, job-shadowing opportunities, telecommuting opportunities, PTO, 401(K), medical-dental-vision coverage OPTIONS, Wellness incentives, some team-building budget (within reason, of course), a "people before profits" mantra, public transit reimbursement, Bicycle Commuters club (open to all), on-site Red Cross Blood Drives six times a year. Best of all: TEAMWORK is respected and supported, and often rewarded.

Cons – Okay, here's the shocker: the downsides at Regence are going to be the SAME downsides at any company. It's true: your experience can depend on your manager and YOU. (Outwit, Outlast, Outplay sound familar, anyone?) Regence has pledged to reform healthcare since before the phrase became popular (again) recently. However, it's with a decidedly Republican bent--which isn't necessarily a downside, just something to consider if that matters to you.

Advice to Senior Management – 1, 2 and 3: Insource, insource, insource. Lead job creation and recovery by hiring (how to say this politely) "not overseas". You took a 25% paycut for us a couple of years ago. I was so impressed. I think you're doing it again, but you just haven't told us, right? Don't be so shy about sharing what you do to "take one for the team" publicly.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
