Pros
I joined Parallon when it was a start-up called All About Staffing started by an RN and one Developer, who wrote a staffing program that replaced the magnetic whiteboard. HCA soon implemented that program nation-wide and elevated that Developer to Director of Development, then VP of IT, and later Chief Information Officer. HCA then rebranded AAS as Parallon and began to offer its flagship software applications to external clients. I was so happy to be part of the success of Parallon.
Cons
The transition from All About Staffing to Parallon was difficult, but the Development Group was up to the challenge. However, most members of the original group are no longer with the company, including the orginal Founder and Developer who later became the CIO.
