Business Outlook

Pros

-A jr employee can get some good lessons and learn how to make it -Travel benefits and lots of OT -Processes are detailed and can allow younger less experienced people the chance to learn

Cons

-People hide behind the big machine that is the company -Medical Imaging business unit is not run well -Promotions are given to yes men, and not based on merit -Strategic account management is truly lacking - especially at the Senior Level -People look at you with Mr. Clean like smiles and lie to your face -The company will burn out younger employees and senior managers will stand on their shoulders

Coder at Mckesson

Coder/data entry

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Like the laid back working environment. The benefits are good.

Cons

I could not pass their coding certification test after 2 attempts.I am a new coder & could not pass so being demoted to a data entry position wth less pay so I'm really disappointed. I had been trying to get a coding job there for a year & finally get in & find out later that I have to pass this test to code there. I feel like after that they pushed me aside & didn't even care. I was pretty disappointed that my supervisor didn't seem to want to fight for me to retake it again & after contacting higher management it appears that there are no retakes for it so I'm left to look for a job that will let me code!
