Pros

Positives: *Casual Dress *The guy who wears flip-flops and sometimes bare feet is not really all that bad (as referenced in other reviews) *Decent pay *Allowed to work from home when sick * great stepping stone * A great way to go up the ladder if you are prepared to do whatever it takes

Cons

Cons: *Most of upper management lives in a dream world. If you try to talk sense to them it will be like trying to talk sense to that crazy woman you see around town who is off her head on crack. *Micro-management *An In-Crowd and an Out-Crowd *No real training *A LOT of employees unhappy and jumping ship - this could result in the company going down in flames *There is nothing wrong with growing an investment, but don't leave a trail of bodies to get there. So this is a short history of HealthMEDX. The company was founded by three inspirational leaders and spent the last decade growing at a solid rate with minimal turnover. It is then taken over in 2012 and the three leaders retired; in their place a new CEO joins. Over the next two years every member of executive management is driven out and the company grows at astronomical speed, hiring a ton of people every month. What they won't tell you is that every month they were firing a ton also. And this is because the company had no training policy. So they'd get angry at people being thrown in front of the client and not being able to magically know the stuff they should have bee trained in. One of the managers of a large division within the company pretty much went mad, verbally attacking and arguing with employees. Tons of great people were driven out or fired. And the CEO allegedly had no idea any of this was happening until it reached boiling point where some very good people almost walked out. The communication within the company really is very, very poor. When the takeover happened, we were all assured that the culture would remain the same. Instead of focusing on the key values of what made HealthMEDX such a great place to work (and believe me, it was wonderful back in the day) they found a word they liked - in this case 'CREATE'. Then they found words that began with each of those letters. Community. Results. Excellence. Attitude. Trust. Energy. And then they proceeded to destroy the culture anyway and then force employee reviews to be graded against each of these words. You know, a reasonable alternative here could have been to just grade employees on - oh I don't know - their performance, what their clients thought of them, etc. Instead we have a bunch of really incompetent managers who take random ski trips away to Colorado to congratulate each other and read self-help books on Emotional Intelligence - and then come right back and do all the same stupid things they were doing all along. My recommendation to you, if you are thinking about joining HealthMEDX, is to know the following. (1) You will make a decent paycheck. (2) You get a good 401k and health insurance. (3) No-one cares about you or what you think. (4) If the company misses its sales targets by miles, you can bet your bottom dollar there will be layoffs. (5) HR have now allegedly started writing fake reviews on Glassdoor because they can't think of a better way to stem the tide of negative reviews.

Pros

Pay is decent for the Ozark area, some good and talented people work there, no dress code in the office. If you aren't interested in professional development and just need something to do to kill time and get paid, it's terrific. We're all about to get $25 off a Fitbit, so if you were on the fence about buying one, we're hiring.

Cons

Total lack of focus, vision, and planning. Product is buggy and largely held together with duct tape after years of neglect. Leadership spends its time reacting to emergencies because a customer is always angry about something. The culture is not very good - the new "hello" at HMX has become "know anyone who is hiring?". Company tried to go Agile last year, but the thought of teams making their own decisions scared the pants off of the leadership so we're back to Lead-By-Spreadsheet. For a lot of senior people here, HealthMEDX is their first and only job, so they have no exposure to a management style that isn't top-down, passive-aggressive micromanagement (passive in that they don't have enough time to oversee your every task, aggressive in that this is your fault).
