Pros

Market leader in the hospital space. Are not intense about cold calling. A lot of good people work there.

Cons

They screw over some departments with their reduction of budgeted commitment to them, while raising the quota, and then ultimately have to lay people off bc goals weren't close to hit. Shocker. It's the 'we're all trying to find out who did this' meme. If you want to see a little bit of this budget inequity in action: Go look through their linkedin page. You'll see at certain natl conventions they'll have a big booth and lots of reps for products like Shift Wizard, etc. And then look at other natl conventions, and its just a table with 1-2 reps. Its unfathomable the way leadership blames ppl not hitting goals on the work from home policy and are driven by their paranoia that people aren't really trying when the problem is right there in the mirror.

Pros

HealthStream has a strong and well-established culture of remote work. Until recently, there has been a solid focus on work-life balance that I found refreshing, because most companies these days treat you as if you should be on call 24/7 and don't care what responsibilities you have to attend to in your off hours.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career development in my line of work. A lot of what is delegated to me is various admin and data entry tasks instead of on projects that are related to my career goals, which makes it difficult for me to develop any meaningful experience or accomplishments that I could carry with me to the next level of my career path. This is true even though I changed career paths during my time here, because I was promised more projects that would be relevant to my career development if I switched roles. That hasn't panned out at all, and I feel very stagnant. Furthermore, I feel that my efficiency and expertise are punished with busywork, which is extremely demotivating. The focus on work-life balance seems to be disappearing, too, which is unfortunate.
