Business Outlook

Pros

- Mission-driven work in healthcare education and compliance. - Many colleagues are passionate and collaborative. - Opportunities to contribute meaningfully, if your role is clearly defined.

Cons

- Roles are often misaligned with job descriptions. - Employees may be hired for one function but expected to take on - unrelated responsibilities (e.g., project management and executive assistant duties) without training, support, or respect for their professional development trajectory. - Managers sometimes interpret boundary-setting or clarification as resistance, rather than a call for better alignment. - This tendency to reconfigure roles on the fly often ignores employees’ strengths and weaknesses, leading to poor utilization and disengagement. - Lack of clarity around responsibilities can lead to burnout and confusion.

Business Outlook

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 The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need.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.
