Cons
The company used the really care about it's employees and worked hard to build a company culture. Since going public, it been clear that all they care about now it their bottom line. Many employee benefits/resources have been reduced or removed. Employees are all being asked to do more with less and the work life balance is now non existent. Its not uncommon to take work home with you. Communication around the company has always been an area of improvement for Premier but it has gotten to the point that upper management is totally disconnected from the people that work for them. They sit on a different floor and have zero contact with their departments. This has lead to a issues with back-biteing, favortism, employee concerns never being addressed, and major issues being covered up so that upper management doesn't find out. Opportunities for advancement are few and far between. Premier would rather hire externally rather then promote from within. Recently, a coworker described the environment as toxic. This used to be a good company that has slowly deteriorated. This is why so many people are leaving right now.
