Very low pay, loss of some benefits, increased the coding productivity goal to 126% in 2024, no part-time positions, salary based on geography, have to track each minute you're not heads-down coding
Benefits lost: $20/month for internet. $2/hr shift diff bonus for working weekends. No more ICD-10-CM codebooks. $2k per year ($1k for you and $1k for your spouse) for medical payments if participating in a wellness screening. Working spouse coverage. Incentive plan was lowered during the pandemic since it was difficult to obtain to something more obtainable (Ebitda), but paid a lot less. Sick time was cut, but PTO was raised to compensate. I had >5,000 hours of sick time lost due to this change; have to use PTO for illness now.
Overall: If you're paid a decent salary in line with other companies and like the benefits, this is a great coding job. I ended up with a great manager, and the company tries to make meetings fun. But when all other companies offered 40% more for a senior coding position, I knew it was time to leave. Despite all this, I planned on staying a little longer to learn the last coding role I hadn't tried, coding auditor. They were going to cut my pay for this role and wouldn't budge on the salary by even $1/hr, so I left (coding auditor position was a transfer to salary status same $/hr x 2,080 hrs, but you lose overtime pay, pto selling, pto carry-over, and can't sell pto at the end of employment). I'm a workaholic, never called in sick once, and sold most of my pto for cash, so for me this was a paycut. Surprisingly, HR changed their mind and offered me a 15% raise for the auditor job only after I put in my notice (would've taken 7 more years to get to that), but by then I found something way better.
