Health, Dental, and Vision Coverage
Because at Great-West we believe in caring for our people, your health care begins on your date of hire, and you have a choice of a consumer-driven plan or PPO-type plan. Your medical plan premium also includes dental and vision coverage.
Flexible Benefit Accounts
Great-West offers flexible benefit accounts that allow employees to set aside pretax dollars for anticipated out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses.
Retirement Savings
Our 401(k) plan allows employees to set aside pretax money for retirement, with immediate vesting of company-matched funds and a wide choice of investment options.
Paid Time Off
As a new employee, you'll begin to accrue paid time off immediately upon hire. We also offer eight paid holidays each calendar year, plus two floating holidays to use at your discretion.
Volunteer and Financial Match Programs
At Great-West, we believe that the good we do shouldn’t end when we leave the office, so we offer financial support to an array of charitable organizations—and we encourage our people to do the same. Through our generous Employee Match program, we’ll match your charitable contributions, the time you volunteer, and the funds you raise for eligible organizations, based on program guidelines. As trusted citizens of the communities we serve, we believe that giving back isn’t just our obligation, it’s our privilege.
Life Insurance
We provide basic life insurance coverage at no cost to employees. We offer additional low-cost life insurance for employees and their families, as well as low-cost, optional accidental death and dismemberment coverage.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Basic Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage is provided at no cost to employees. Supplemental LTD coverage can be purchased on a pretax basis.
And More
At Great-West, we believe that providing our people with the means to lead the active, productive lives they deserve naturally brings out their best performance at work. That’s why we offer flexible work hours and a business-casual environment in many departments. We also offer all our employees tuition reimbursement, an Employee Assistance Program, and credit union membership, and subsidized bus fares and free parking are offered at many locations. In addition, our larger locations have on-site cafeterias, and our metro Denver headquarters features an on-site free fitness center, convenience store, dry cleaners, bank, cafeteria, and walking distance to light rail.
