Pros

***Great company culture (at South Bend headquarters, as well as auxillary offices) ***I have been granted numerous opportunities to advance throughout my career at PG ***We are by far the industry leader, so there is much pride in working for the best ***We are making considerable investment in technology used for internal operations ***The benefits are better than those of most employers in the South Bend area ***Internal communications have greatly improved over the past few years, and will continue to trend that way. ***Our leadership team is very capable and savvy

Cons

***To be successful, you must be willing to work many more than the standard 40 hour work week. However, when you're passionate about the corporate mission, and you know your hard work will be recognized, the benefit is worth the cost.

Pros

The company has a great group of people working as Account Managers, and the work done to improve patient satisfaction in the health care industry is rewarding. If you are going to work for Press Ganey the best area to get into is Patient Experience Advising role. The position has a lot of freedom. They give you a laptop and a book of business to manage/consult. The people who work on the Advising team are very much people oriented and all have bright personalities. The position is primarily remote work, so you can work from home. Great job!

Cons

Management lacks the ability to recognize talent and the company is leaning toward hiring upper level positions from outside the company instead of promoting within. The seek to keep highly qualified people in the lowest possible position they can talk the person into accepting, then keep them there and use their talents at the lower pay rate. When this company started, it was a great company. Roughly 6 years ago, the founders Dr.'s Press & Ganey (former professors of the University of Notre Dame) sold the company off and the purchasers sought to make the culture very corporate, they succeeded, but to the detriment of employee satisfaction. People fill out employee satisfaction surveys each year, but are afraid to list anything negative on the surveys, because they are "confidential but not anonymous" meaning they each have a bar-code attached that is registered to the employees name. The company has a name for discharging those who lower the employee satisfaction scores.

Press Ganey Response
11y
I’m sorry to hear that Press Ganey wasn’t the right fit for you. We appreciate your review and wish you success with your next opportunity. I’d like to clarify a few points included in your review. For the past five years, Press Ganey has partnered with an outside organization to administer its annual online employee survey, collect the data and run reports. We are committed to listening to our employees in order to build on what is working well and make improvements in areas needed. While there are six demographic questions (e.g. office location, number of years with PG, etc.) on the survey, these questions are not required, so employees can choose not to answer them. Press Ganey employees do not see the raw data, and we are not able to drill down to an individual survey response. See the “Engagement” tab for details on our 2014 employee survey. Press Ganey is currently investing in its four primary South Bend office spaces in a variety of ways and by the spring of 2015, bathrooms will be enhanced, new break room facilities will be added and better lit work environments (with more natural light) will be available for employees. Over the past two years, the career path for Account Managers has grown substantially and today, Account Managers are able to work with varying sizes and geographically located health care providers across the country. In additional, the roles and responsibly of the position continue to be focused on the needs of our customers and require a full range of excellent skills, including project management, quality assurance, data analysis and strong communication. And I’m happy to report that we have promoted 12 individuals from the Account Management department within the past 12 months.

Pros

Highly motivated associates who care about each other and the work they're doing every day. Opportunity to be involved with challenging, innovative initiatives. Leadership makes a real effort to be transparent and communicate changes. Excellent benefits.

Cons

In the past there have been limited opportunities (at least in my department) for training and professional development. I think that has started to change the second half of this year and I'd like to see continued focus on this area - internal and external learning opportunities for all associates
