Pros

Very relaxed environment, great salary and benefits, not a lot of micro-management. People are very nice. The customer service and support at PrimeMail mail order pharmacy is great and always receives high marks.

Cons

No central leadership whatsoever. There are literally 7 different "fiefdoms" where each VP runs their own little organization without coordinating with other VPs. This causes great overlap in projects and products. The CEO pretty much does nothing other than make empty promises like "we've got 45 million to spend and we can't spend it fast enough!" yet 2 weeks later, when management goes to request additional employees and resources the response is "we don't have money for that right now." The biggest problem is that no one person works in one department. It seems that everyone moves around a lot or ends up leaving for another company in the industry. Also, most processes are not documented, so when you need to do any type of audit or explain how something works to a client or a new employee, it's all word of mouth and if the subject matter expert on that leaves, you're up the creek. Also, unless you've been there for 5+ years, people will not listen to your ideas and will use the common saying "we tried that x years ago and it didn't work." Well, ya know, healthcare is a constantly evolving industry. Things change every month, so just because it didn't work x years ago doesn't mean we shouldn't revisit it. And don't get me started on the bureaucracy of this place. Henry Ford would be proud. To get a project even looked at takes 6 months and oh yeah, IT is backed up for the next 24 months, so even if it does get looked at, don't expect it to happen while you still work here.

Pros

- VTO during non-peak season - Mandatory and Voluntary OT during peak season - Few calls per day - personable employees

Cons

- it’s nearly impossible to get hired on full-time. - as a contractor, you have no benefits and can’t partake in any of the company events or even give kudos to your colleagues. - the metrics are somewhat doable, but there are many technicalities that cause them to mess up a lot of the time. - Two months prior to being fired without warning, I was under the impression I was on a written warning, and not a final but was told I would get a follow up email letting me know about it and I never got that email. I did persist and ask about it a few weeks later and still had no follow up. - if you are a contractor, they will look for anything in your performance to fire you as soon as the peak season is over. A colleague was fired that same week due to suspicion of them having a mouse mover with no evidence provided. -I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for two months straight with no days off until they made it mandatory to have at least one day off per week. - two days prior to me getting fired, in a meeting I was told that everything was looking great and that I was fine. It’s very odd how that tune changed abruptly.
