Terrible middle managers

Pros

If you're lucky to get a good manager, you'll love it but they are very rare. The pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

Low morale and focus on bottom line vs satisfaction of customers and employees. The culture of the workplace is very stressful and not conducive to building team work.

Pros

Market leader in health insurance software. Opportunity to work with major health plans across the country. Lots of different positions to choose from and grow within the organization (e.g. consulting, sales, produce SMEs, hosting, etc.)

Cons

Constant reorganization has causes confusion among employees. Lost our focus on provide high-quality consulting services and healthcare leadership. Developing into a "body shop" that chases any available work. Lack of process/procedures in selling and delivering services. Little training to new hires other than simple orientation.

Females need not apply - unless you are an admin

Anonymous employee

Pros

Unlimited PTO if you can take it

Cons

Women are not valued, wanted, appreciated or noticed - unless a man wants a meeting scheduled or things copied. Women - be expected to perform those duties to the exclusion of anything else regardless of your job title, experience or education. Also, don't expect to be invited to meetings relating to your job unless a man needs minutes taken and please if that happens, don't speak.
