WAEPA is a highly disorganized and dysfunctional organization with serious leadership and culture issues.
Company-wide meetings are held weekly and are largely dominated by the owner repeating company history and personal anecdotes, rather than addressing operational issues or employee concerns. These meetings feel performative and unproductive.
There is a stark imbalance in compensation. Executive leadership (CEO, CFO, and other officers) hold inflated titles and reportedly earn compensation well in excess of $400,000 annually, while frontline employees—customer service, IT, and operational staff—are paid under $80,000. This gap is felt daily and contributes to low morale and high turnover.
Although WAEPA operates as a nonprofit, the organization functions more like a revenue-driven entity. Premiums for members—many of whom are retired government employees and veterans—are routinely increased, offering little advantage over market alternatives. Additionally, the life insurance products marketed by WAEPA are administered through a separate company, a detail not always made clear.
Leadership is heavily self-promoted, with the owner prominently featured in advertisements, promotional materials, and public appearances. The focus appears to be on visibility rather than transparency or service improvement.
Prospective employees and potential members should conduct thorough research before engaging with this organization, including reviewing executive compensation and comparing rates with other providers.

Having been with WAEPA since 1999 and now retired and at age 77 my rate has quardrupled. I had to reduce my coverage because of the large increase in premiums as I no longer was able to pay the much larger premium. When I call WAEPA to ask about my potential increase at age 80, no one seems to know how much it will be. Also, I ask what happens at at 85 (should I live that long), again no concrete answers.
