Pros

-Mailroom coworkers are sweet and ethical -Managers inside the mailroom with us were real people, everyone else in management saw us as "the poors", and were phobic of us

Cons

- Do you ever get sick or like to get raises you were promised? Well then unfortunately, this is not the company for you! -Management does not see you as human -Policy where you have to give a weeks notice for any days off including any sick days and days off for emergencies. Even the companies top employees were stressing about getting fired for taking necessary sick time off. EVERYONE was getting strikes in the strike system left and right. -This has been the only employer I've ever had to deny me accommodations for chronic conditions causing me pain and fatigue. I requested 2 days of unpaid time off a month to be used as needed for flare ups. After 46 days of "thinking about it" they finally denied my request, stating it was an undue hardship on the company. I should also state that any work you missed on a day here or there could absolutely be made up the next day. This job is not that intense, but management ran around like their hair was on fire if anybody ever needed to call in. And look at the consequences of taking a sick day- literally nothing, your work can be easily caught up the next day. No part of the job falls apart if you were sick for a day. They also failed to cross-train anyone, so some people if they quit, would literally be the only person with the knowledge on how to do their job. This company is so poorly run there are a couple of people that have become integral to the company and they are not having those people train others to do their work if they ever need a day off. If Brenda left, the entire company would crumble. -HR literally ghosted me repeatedly when I asked questions about why I couldn't be accommodated as this has NEVER happened at previous workplaces. They just started ignoring my emails and calls completely because they didn't have a good answer for me. They lawyered up and told me to take it up with their lawyer. I literally had to quit, I was squeezed out of this job due to my disabilities not being accommodated. - Benefits are bad, nobody was on them - Meetings with management about a raise I was promised were repeatedly "forgotten". I never got it by the way. - Extremely poor communication by management. Multiple re-sends of routine emails correcting numerous errors, never getting back to people who rightfully had questions, cancelling meetings last minute with no explanation. - New CEO Shashi Yadiki sucks. Policy after policy was implemented after he started at the company that were focused on taking away work life balance or anything that made us feel human.

Pros

There is diversity in the company as it has offshore offices in South Asia.

Cons

The new management has changed the salary review process. The process now occurs once a year, resulting in a minimal increase of just a penny per hour. This is disheartening, especially considering the hard work put in throughout the year. While the company is profitable, it seems the benefits are not adequately shared with employees. Additionally, the workload has increased significantly, with individuals expected to handle development, testing, monitoring, and project management as well as customer calls independently.

Pros

This is a great company that is making waves in the health care field, they do not require much direct experience and you will learn a lot in regards to health care and you will be compensated.

Cons

The main issue comes into play with the codebase and resources, there is basically no training other than to give a brief overview of what the company does and what the coding practices and requirements are. Beyond that there is basically no documentation of their codebase to general functionality for self learning and only tribal knowledge. You will have to ask someone to run you through the functionality or only follow the code base line by line to be able to understand any functionality.
