Hard work is appreciated!

Pros

There is opportunity for movement and hardwork pays off literally. They will give hard working employees pay increases. I had several in my 2+ years there. This was also my first job out of college and the work was adaptable to any other company. You learn a lot, your management team sets you up for growth. When you succeed the management team will acknowledge it.

Cons

You will work a lot. I would work anywhere from a typical 40 hours to 50+ hours a week. However, they have work from home options and flexible scheduling. Basically if you get your work done and done well you get the privilege of enjoying hours off without using PTO and when I took a full day my PTO was never denied. A few people even got new puppies when they worked there and due to the schedule of training their dogs they let them work remote the later half of the day every day of the week. Basically if you work hard you will be appreciated, but you will work really hard. I think hours is the largest complaint I hear about healthfuse overall, but I also know management is working on it.

Good if you're on Top

Pros

Being relatively young, getting some work that has a real impact is a genuine resume builder rather than typical lower impact work young professionals would find elsewhere. Excluding management, everyone is a genuine pleasure to work with and as far as I can tell, most people feel the same way. If it wasn't for the (hopefully taken down by the time you read this) management-planted review on March 25, 2019, it would have been a 2-star review. The immaturity and blatant attempt to inflate the average review score is shameful. The office has incredible views of downtown Milwaukee, especially Lake Michigan. Free donut Thursday mornings and free beer Fridays at 3:30pm. If you’re a close friend or family member of management, you will be treated well here.

Cons

Be prepared to be paid lower than your market value and to often work more than 40 hours per week without any overtime potential. You will be taken for granted in a thankless job and be set up to inevitably fail. Considering how small the business is, the copious communication breakdowns are baffling. Management is seldom on the same page as employees creating surprises and fires which end up being the employees’ faults every time apparently. Priorities are nonsensical since everything is a high priority. For example, I had an 18-hour day to get a project out on time. Upon its completion, the management recipient told me “I’ll look at it next week”. If that’s so, why was my extension request denied? Why wasn’t even a simple “thank you” given? The next week I worked 39 hours and got an informal warning for not working 40 hours without taking PTO without any regard given I worked 50+ hours the week prior. Office politics are rampant, but it seems most people are pussyfooting around it. Rockstars have been let go for mysterious reasons while underperformers have stuck around for quite some time. Hiring friends and family might have made sense when it was a startup trying to survive early on, but now it has created a culture of insiders and outsiders. Life is great if you’re on the inside as you have total job security regardless of performance. Having family members give performance evaluations to each other is a pretty clear conflict of interest that's swept under the rug.

People first, mission always. Healthfuse focuses on protecting and strengthening hospitals’ financial situations so they can focus on creating healthier patient communities. This mission is a bold one and the reason for our existence. To accomplish it, we have high standards for ourselves, and our clients have high expectations of us. We also love our employees and work hard to create a positive environment where they can thrive. We encourage open communication, and provide tools, so we can help our employees succeed. But at the end of the day, our culture and mission are not for everyone. While we hate seeing this negative comment, we only wish this previous employee all the best in their future endeavors. We also hope those evaluating Healthfuse, and reading this review, consider other positive reviews, and Healthfuse’s focus on both mission and our people.

Pros

The work schedule is very flexible and the employees are great to work with overall. It’s possible to work from home occasionally. It’s a small company and management is very receptive to suggestions to improve. There are free donuts and coffee on Thursdays and free beer on Fridays.

Cons

The compensation is low in comparison to other companies and the workload can be enormous at times. A minimum of 45 hours per week is expected and 50+ hours weekly isn’t uncommon.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying your experience with us overall! As a growing company, we’re always striving to improve. Taking care of our employees is one of our core values and we believe in investing in our people. I would recommend reaching out to your manager to have a conversation regarding training or professional development opportunities, or reach out to me and we can discuss options. We’re in the process of creating a structured professional development program, and plan to launch in early 2019. Our goal is to maintain competitive compensation, and based on market research, we feel that Healthfuse compensation is in line with other employers in the market. There are peaks and valleys regarding workload in most companies. If you’re ever feeling that the workload is weighing you down, please talk to me or your manager, and we can figure out how to adjust appropriately. If you’d like to discuss further, please email me directly at dvollmers@healthfuse.com
