Pros

1) Meaningful Mission: Prior to Employer Direct Healthcare, I spent my career at a number of incredibly large and well-known companies. While they were all perceived as great places to work, they were all lacking the one thing that is most exciting about working for Employer Direct Healthcare. They all lacked the ability to work for a Company that is truly making a meaningful difference on people's lives and wellbeing. The company is dedicated to addressing some of the fundamental issues in the healthcare system in terms of uncontrollable costs, poor quality and lack of transparency. Through the SurgeryPlus solution, the company creates the opportunity for ordinary people to receive affordable, higher quality care for their complex healthcare needs. The ability to work for a company where I know we are positively impacting people's lives is by far the most rewarding aspect of working for Employer Direct. 2) Senior Leadership: The ensemble of individuals assembled on the Company's leadership team is second to none. They are passionate about our mission and work tirelessly to provide a solution worthy of the members who use it. They're all deeply experienced in their areas of expertise and make everyone who works for them better. 3) Opportunity: While in existence since 2011, in many ways, the Company still operates like a start-up, offering significant opportunity for top performers to quickly increase their role and assume additional responsibilities. Hard work is rewarded and people who show promise can quickly rise within the organization.

Cons

Not so much a "con", but good to know going in. Expectations from executives are extremely high. Employer Direct hires and retains extremely talented individuals and those individuals expect the best from employees at every level. For some, these expectations can be overwhelming, but for those who are passionate about the Company's mission and who excel in a fast past environment, these expectations create better, higher skilled employees that are empowered to find ways new ways to positively impact people's lives.
