Pros

-Good pay and benefits are decent -The friendliest and most well intentioned people

Cons

-ZERO maternity/paternity leave which is despicable as a healthcare company -I've never seen a company so poorly managed, nepotism runs rampant as the Chief Marketing Officer is the CEO's daughter. -Marketing can't get anything done to save its life -No real sales leadership to speak of -Unrealistic expectations of staff telling them that they should be working from 5am-10pm at night to keep their jobs -Someone is fired every week for seemingly no reason to "cut costs"

Pros

-Company has great potential to succeed in the healthcare it market -A lot of talent and great employees at the lower levels -Room to grow and find new opportunities if you look -lots of free "swag" and good company events

Cons

-Leadership is potentially not heading in the right direction and priorities are unclear and do not trickle down the latter -Poor communication between both internal and external teams. there is a huge lake of teamwork, a lot of different teams work on the same project without involving others who are doing the same thing -Lots of people at the executive level that have no idea what theyre doing and not good at their job, but just get bounced around to different positions and departments, also way overpaid

Pros

I worked at DrFirst for half a decade so I saw lots of good things and met lots of good people. DrFirst offered me a very flexible schedule and good PTO. WFH may be possible for many positions. M-F casual dress was an additional +++

Cons

I'm not exactly sure why, but working at this company seems to drain away people's happiness. It might be because it's a small company and so people are asked to do a LOT. For example you may be asked to cover duties and tasks completely outside of your skillset and main job duties at any time. If your peer quits, all their workload may fall on you indefinitely. It's a crapshoot if management replaces the employee that left with someone new. No recognition will be given for this extra effort, and if you can't handle doing the job of 2 people it will reflect negatively on you performance reviews. All of this doesn't seem to be malicious by management, but it drains the motivation of good people and grinds away happiness. I saw it happen countless times and experienced it first hand. Management would often give conflicting business direction and drop new tools/products/projects mid development. Because upper management comes up with new initiatives each quarter without fully vetting impact and risk. Lack of follow through. One more thing, if you do get hired here, negotiate the highest salary possible because annual raises leave much to be desired.
