Pros

The company attracts high quality employees. Strong team bonding and great hiring of quality people who care. Nice office location that is located in the #Gulch, #Nashville.

Cons

CEO has negative view of women in positions of leadership. Uses veiled mechanism to avoid promoting women to executive positions - such as *not believing in having a defined career path* instead people *prove their worth through unique circumstances*. Provided examples using a long winded patronizing lecture to senior management that glorified #maleonly examples that date back a decade. Really? Not a single female accomplishment in 10 years that warrants mention? Huge compensation disparity between men and women.

Pros

My team and the connections I've made, their support and strong team effort.

Cons

Had 3 managers in first year. Lack of communication and leadership. Pay is substantially lower than competition. No Work/Life balance - all work! HR was ineffective, and slow to respond to issues and questions. Management only sees dollar signs and are quick to make judgements regarding employee's work, have unreal expectations, show no compassion, and put people in boxes... giving no feeling of belonging. The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need. HSTM cannot keep up.
