Pros

It is a very unique industry that saves lives and has a lot of room for personal and professional growth. The benefits are pretty standard, while most of the people are incredibly nice and willing to help.

Cons

Management never stays the same for more than a year, which means constantly changing standards, expectations and cultures. You'd think with 3-4 original owners, management would be a constant, but they've had 3 CFO's in 4 years, three heads of one of the business lines in one year, 2 heads of another business line in two years and constant turnover in accounting, finance, and legal. All that change means you never work for the same person very long, which means eventually you're going to work for one you don't get along with (or doesn't like you) and find yourself looking for a new job. They also have two really nasty habits - they'll hire a bunch of new people, then lay most of them off within a year. They'll also often times hire people's replacements without their knowledge, hoping they'll quit instead of being laid off (and saving on severance), once they realize what is happening. So even if you get a job, you'll never know who you'll be working for, what the expectations will be, whether you'll still have a job or what the directives will be going forward. For a company that constantly wants to be on the "best places to work" lists and talks about "family", that's pretty much the complete opposite of what they are.

Pros

The company has a strong, collaborative culture where people are genuinely invested in doing high-quality work and supporting each other. There's a lot of exposure to interesting, complex projects, and you're trusted to own your work and make an impact. For anyone who wants to grow professionally, there's real opportunity here. High performers are recognized, and you're given the space to step up and expand your scope.

Cons

Work can be complex and fast paced but a great environment for people who enjoy challenging problems and making meaningful changes.

Pros

They'll mail you a box of popcorn and nuts around Xmas, sometimes.

Cons

Compensation is well below industry average and the benefits are just as bad — healthcare especially is expensive for what little you actually get. There is zero upward mobility. When someone leaves and a role opens up, they will hire externally every single time instead of promoting the people already doing the work. They run intentionally understaffed under the excuse of staying "lean," which just means the people there are overworked with unrealistic deadlines and no relief in sight. Micromanagement is a serious problem throughout the organization. My manager was passive-aggressive and toxic. One-on-ones were essentially monologues — you couldn't get a word in while they rambled about what the team should and shouldn't be doing. When something goes wrong, senior leadership is quick to point fingers downward. There is a clear pattern of blame being shifted onto individual contributors and mid-level managers to protect those at the top.
