    Premera Blue Cross Marketing in Mountlake Terrace, WA:   (Past Employee - 2007)

    1 of 1 people found this helpful

    Pros

    If you can get a job in this economy at Premera, probably a good reason to work there. Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason you would want to work there.

    Cons

    Very crowded office facilities and parking (even in a suburban community). Senior management is very disconnected from the real workers. Senior management chooses financial motives over all else including customers, health plan member welfare, and especially employees. Stingy stingy stingy raises and very rarely provides bonuses (none for hourly). Their "holiday" gifts are insulting...I wish they would just use the money for charity. Not a marketing or customer driven culture. If you can sell health insurance, they'll love you...everyone else, take a back seat.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Put the customer and member first...no more pretending to do it.
