Pros

Decent amount of vacation days. Flexibility to work from home occasionally. Good location, right off the highway.

Cons

I thought it was a good job at first. They ease you in and give you a small quota of cases that you have to close, which seems reasonable. Unfortunately, the quota rises exponentially with no additional training, knowledge, or ways to learn how the software works. The job started off as a support job where you pick cases from a queue and work them. During my tenure there, they turned it into a call center where you have to answer the phones for customers calling in for help. However, there is no documentation for the software and it was hard to get answers from anyone in the company about how the software worked. Most of the time you'd have to leave the customer on hold while you ran around the building trying to find someone who knew how something worked. Customers were always frustrated and I was always frustrated because I didn't have the proper training/knowledge to help the customers in a timely manner. Along with the no documentation, the software was ALWAYS broken. There were major aspects of the software that wouldn't function for weeks on end and there was no work-around or solution to provide to the customer. There was a lot of attitude and condescension from the seasoned employees. They also seemed to abide by the "it's not my job" philosophy most of the time. Most of them weren't very friendly and would even go out of their way not to help you. Management was out of the loop on so many levels that it was ridiculous. They wouldn't even know a problem was a problem until weeks or months later. The last thing I will say is.... if you are hoping to get your foot in the door so you can work your way into something else whether it be IT, programming, management, etc., don't waste your time. I, along with many others, had the qualifications to move up and into other departments where we were qualified. We were always overlooked and they would hire from the outside or they would hire someone who had worked there a long time that didn't have a degree or any kind of qualifications aside from tenure.

Pros

Pay is decent for the Ozark area, some good and talented people work there, no dress code in the office. If you aren't interested in professional development and just need something to do to kill time and get paid, it's terrific. We're all about to get $25 off a Fitbit, so if you were on the fence about buying one, we're hiring.

Cons

Total lack of focus, vision, and planning. Product is buggy and largely held together with duct tape after years of neglect. Leadership spends its time reacting to emergencies because a customer is always angry about something. The culture is not very good - the new "hello" at HMX has become "know anyone who is hiring?". Company tried to go Agile last year, but the thought of teams making their own decisions scared the pants off of the leadership so we're back to Lead-By-Spreadsheet. For a lot of senior people here, HealthMEDX is their first and only job, so they have no exposure to a management style that isn't top-down, passive-aggressive micromanagement (passive in that they don't have enough time to oversee your every task, aggressive in that this is your fault).
