Pros

Flexible start hours in most departments, friendliness of employees, great place to start gaining experience; McKesson is great for an entry level person to go to.

Cons

HR staff cannot really answer all your questions, wonder why they have an HR rep. Archaic computer system that has not been updated since who knows when. No room for advancement up the chain or for a lateral move, as things are being restructured or outsourced. The starting level pay is $2 lower per hour than the average entry level pay for medical billers and the amount of workload is not worth the money you are paid for it. Some of the corporate policies go against real actual law that does exist and they have no plans to change their policies to reflect true law. Too much micro-management w/in departments-meaning too many people trying to be your supervisor at one time and tell you what your duties are (too many hands in the same pot) making the job not get done w/in the appropriate time frame as mandated by governmental agencies. Training needs to be revamped-need training manuals for departments and use people who actualy know how to train. There was no raise given after 90 days like most other jobs. No formal evaluation either was given.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
