The start date for this training class is Tuesday, September 8th. This position requires that you work onsite in Sioux Falls, South Dakota during training to demonstrate that you are effectively meeting attendance and performance goals. This training builds every day and prepares you to be comfortable and confident as a Customer Experience Advocate. Once you have demonstrated proficiency in the core functions of the CXA 1 role, you will be approved for hybrid work subject to leader discretion.

It is critical to your success that you take no time off during this training program.

For the first 6 weeks, the hours during training will be 8:00am - 4:30pm. After 6 weeks, and going forward, the hours will shift to 8:30am - 5:00pm

Once you have successfully completed onsite training and are effectively demonstrating attendance and performance expectations, you will have the flexibility to continue working onsite, or as hybrid, which allows you to balance working from home on Monday and Friday, and in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week.

Please note:

If you choose to work hybrid after the training, this role requires you to have your own reliable high-speed internet and a quiet, private space in your home to discreetly take calls to ensure information confidentiality. You must have access to a non-cellular, non-satellite internet service provider, and the ability to directly connect your Wellmark issued computer via ethernet cable into your modem to allow for the best connection and call quality.

If you experience consistent issues with your internet provider or your upload and download speeds are not adequate, you will be asked to work from the office. The minimum speed should be 10 mbps upload and 10mbps download.
