Pros

Great working environment, state of the art facilities, dedicated and skilled staffs, great healthcare benefits, access to 24 hours emergency clinic. I really enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Low pay but great benefits especially for parents, management needs to put more values on human resources.

Working here is like being on punishment

Pros

- The work week is shorter - more days to have downtime - You can really familiarize yourself quite a bit about healthcare systems in other countries - The benefits package is nice - It's kind of neat getting to work alongside doctors and nurses because you can acquire more knowledge about medical terms and conditions - Your level of geography may increase if you go in with limited knowledge of it - based on other people's comments, the training is more extensive - you'll work on some wild/interesting cases - You do get to use your language skills a decent amount of time (depending on what you speak)

Cons

- Way too much gossiping between the managers and trainers; forget about trying to make an impression, as that's already been done for you - No positive feedback--you only hear about your work when you've done something wrong - Sr. management makes rash , unfair, poorly justified decisions - The scheduling almost never seems adequate. What's the point of constantly having understaffed weekends and nights, and then needing to ask people to go in for overtime? That's inefficient spending - Woe unto you if you don't have any buddies going into this place. Those buddies keep you from getting reprimanded as harshly--if even at all--when you mess up your work - They say there's a learning curve of about 1 year, and they tell you that you're going to make mistakes, but it's ok. Resist from buying into this, even after multiple people come to you with this garbage - The computers are slow, and the software frequently crashes - Some of the managers are so ridiculously snarky, I would wonder why I'd even try to stay positive. God forbid you ask for a break from answering the phones to work on your cases. You'll be fed quite some attitude. They do, however, constantly encourage you to ask for a break if you think you need one

Senior Management - a bunch of amateurs, number crunching, not equipped with adequate EQ to fully develop the company's potential
