      I have been working at Allscripts full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Great benefits, easy work, mostly great co-workers, super location

      Cons

      Upper management does not really trust individual department managers to run their own houses- this results in delayed decisions, and bad choices, because the only true decision makers are too far removed from the actual teams facing clients and doing the work. It is a house that cannot stand long term.

      Advice to Management

      If you cannot trust your directors and managers, get rid of them and bring on people that you CAN trust. Crushing their spirits never leads to success.

      Pros

      Dedicated, hardworking, knowledgeable & friendly co-workers. Above average PTO (if you are actually able to use it). Products improve healthcare quality. Most departments offer flexible hours & remote opportunities.

      Cons

      Complete lack of work/life balance. Wages are below industry standards. Management teams are top heavy & political. Individual contributors are not valued. Gender & racial inequality is prevalent. Within an 8 week timeframe, 4 long-term female leaders under the finance umbrella submitted resignations. Additionally, our highly experienced & well respected female CFO unexpectedly resigned after less than 1.5 years with the company.

      Advice to Management

      If your ship is sinking, it might be a good time to throw out the stuff that has been weighing it down. Base employee promotions & pay increases on performance instead of politics.

      Pros

      Salary and benefits where good but, you are owned by them.

      Cons

      Horrible communication. No one knows what they are doing yet you're expected to know everything. No proper training. Absolutely zero respect for your personal time - there is no life/work balance at Allscripts! Don't believe the other reviews that say there is. It's simply not true! Tons of empty promises with no follow through. Expect 50-60 hours a week ata minimum. I am not kidding! The software isn't great and has its issues and the clients pretty much hate us and use you as a punching bag while you're onsite, on a call or at a convention. This place is not for the faint of heart or for someone that expects to have a life outside work.

      Advice to Management

      Train your staff properly! Don't throw them into situations that they are not qualified to handle because you don't want to deal them. Learn that the hours you expect your team to be available should NOT be 24 hours a day 7 days a week and even when they are on PTO or out sick. It's a sad and awful way to treat people.

      I have been working at Allscripts full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Clients I get to work with.

      Cons

      Part of a Managed Services Team onsite for a client while they transition to EPIC. We where all supposed to be the same level... Sr. Business Analyst... quickly found out that the title some people have is not accurate with their skill level. Most had never configured the back end of the application before, this made an upgrade to v15.1 almost impossible.

      Advice to Management

      After doing most of the work on the upgrade (New configuration, testing, training) 5mths I did nothing but work on the upgrade doing all the things I just mentioned. After a manager change I asked upper management for a raise and promotion. I was told my previous years work was not enough to warrant a raise or promotion.

      This last year, I upped my game.. went out and took every training course I could on SQL, Crystal reports and Manager training.... then in December 2016, I had some former co-workers reachout and congratulate me on my promotion.. when I confronted my manager about this,he told me that the promotion he had been pushing for came though and that I was no longer a Sr. BA but now and Expert BA... when I asked about salary.... I WAS TOLD THAT MY CURRENT SALARY FALLS IN THE RANGE FOR MY NEW POSITION....

      I left Allscripts in 2013 because of things like this... I came back because I had heard good things from former coworkers about the direction of the company... but have come to learn that nothing has really changed.
