Pros
Despite fluctuations in the reimbursement industry, this company continues to provide a gathering place for professionals in our space. It's impressive how, despite internal and external changes, AAPC employees continue to focus on making members' professional lives easier. The work environment is very flexible, and there is a not-very-rigid organizational structure. Ingenuity is prized. Staff is encouraged to devise new products and programs for members, and failure is seen as an opportunity to learn rather than a career-ending act. Unlike most professional organizations, AAPC is very quick to respond to members' needs. The facility is ascetic and the total number of FTEs small, but that keeps members' costs low. This is great place if you come from the coding profession or non-profit spaces. Thanks to its values, it's also a great place if you are tired of working for a greedy, publicly traded company.
Cons
Very little career growth possible for most employees; what you come in as, you'll stay. Benefits can't be comparable to larger companies in the revenue management space because of its size.
