Pros

Good people, training is decent, pay is decent, hours aren't bad, health ins and other benefits are very reasonably priced and better than most places, vacation time is good

Cons

Constant changes in health care industry and reform make the job hard to deal with sometimes, things change all the time with procedures and the systems. The Sales organization dictates everything and Sales leadership isn't firm on making the sales reps do their part so we could do ours.

Pros

Stability, decent benefits, some good people to work with during the time there. They have a joke that nobody ever gets fired from there. It's not true, but it does take a lot to get fired.

Cons

Which leads to the cons. Sometimes it takes *a lot* to get canned, just because of the size of the company and the implications they have to deal with concerning UI and other legal costs of letting people go. Some states are easier than others though, so it depends on where you are, as always.
