Good employer that struggles with some "old fashioned" tactics to be competitive

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good CEO

Cons

Poor execution of staying competitive in the market - huge layoffs in the middle of a pandemic when financial reports show millions of dollars of revenue is not a sign of a healthy company culture or business strategy

Egos, Lip Service, Good Old Fashioned Drama, and B players

Customer experience

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good vision benefits Good bonuses Some really bright colleagues Work life balance Very talented at spinning lackluster or ineffective efforts as innovations in the field

Cons

Claims to try to make healthcare better, but has little to show for it. Very ego-driven culture, so most initiatives and projects exist only to be resume boosters for those involved. This also means projects just need to be launched, but don’t need to be good. Really dysfunctional leadership who lack vision and keep lackeyism alive and well. An absurdly sexist culture that treats women poorly A second class citizen system with respect to contractors (of whom there are MANY)

Toxic work environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Close to home, short commute

Cons

This was so far the worst place I have worked. The environment was toxic and abusive. Also the line of management for this department would protect each other. They never got in trouble no matter how many complaints were filed. Sadly some did not speak up because of retaliation.
