Pros

Good benefits, decent pay and okay raises when you get a decent boss.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company does not live up to its constant internal chant of building a "positive culture". Possibly like many publicly traded companies its just lip service as the only thing that matters is the bottom line. In fact the culture that used to exist was great and was trying to improve that culture a few years ago. Now, its obvious that its just talk, and there's no real effort to educate people on the values. And, you have to have good values in upper management to actually show good values. Also, in my experience I'm seeing more and more hiring from outside for all top positions, so you can't move up as they just look to hire from outside of the company.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
