Pros

Allowed the opportunity to grow my career and work with talented individuals across different teams. There are people genuinely trying to make a difference and incorporate more development opportunities where they can, but this only goes so far if Leadership feels it's a waste of time.

Cons

If you enjoy having individuals in Executive and Leadership positions berate you in front of others but then get in front of all-company meetings and tout a message that we should feel blessed to be there, then this is the place for you! You could feel the eye rolls happening across the room during those speeches. I was fortunate to be at Netsmart during a time of great of Leadership and caring about individuals. I was unfortunate to be at Netsmart to watch it all deteriorate into something toxic when a group of Executive and Leadership individuals tried to take over different departments. Many good people in higher positions left the company due to the negative culture they brought with them. The long hours and constant firefighting became unbearable and not worth compromising ones health and ethical and moral beliefs. Putting an incentive program in place knowing that the associates wouldn't be able to hit the targets set was a new low.

Cons

Pay is not great, but definitely a decent chance of getting good bumps if you put in the work. Benefits are just okay. Flexible Paid Time Off(Pro and Con)

Pros

A lot of diversity in the work you do, which can bring a lot of variety in what a typical work day may look like. Most of the management is good. They like to hire and promote from within.

Cons

The company mainly cares about client facing people, everyone else kind of takes a backseat on any sort of recognition.
