Pros

Iniital assessment was that the team was pretty cohesive, collaborative and supportive of one another. Almost as soon as I started, I had a family emergency that required serious attention and they were completely understanding and flexible. So much so that I WANTED to work from the ICU and put out great solutions. Team of intelligent people, with definite plans to go somewhere.

Cons

CEO, Matt Reichert, is an ideas person which is great. He can see possibilities and has a good team to put together the logistics of carrying out those ideas. However, because he is too often tainted by relationships with certain members of the team, his judgement can become cloudy. Additionally, he has an idea one day and then two days later he has a different idea so there's this constant changing direction that hapens. There have been at least 3 reorganizations since January 2012, the first of which was to address the exponential growth they were experiencing. However, since the first reorganization, the team has become fractured. The sales team is not held accountable for their lack of production OR their extravagant spending. And, the politics below Matt are unbelieveable. They've entered new markets and launch new products without doing the proper research, threw a sales person at it and expected it to be a ridiculous success. It doesn't work that way most of the time. There is a lot of in-fighting between the executive team members and Sales Executives have been given far too much latitude on too many levels. They got rid of a lot of employees in January to pay down their debt. They've got their debt down and now laid off more people. I don't think they are getting the kind of offers they were hoping for in terms of selling the company and are now trying to make up the difference that sales isn't bringing in by whittling down the size of the team.

Pros

HMS promotes from within and deals honestly with its associates. The company went through a reorganization in the last year and the development, product direction, and sales teams are focused and hit their targets for 2012 and will likely do the same in 2013. It is a good place to work. Pizza Friday is offered on a quarterly basis pending target achievements. Spot bonuses and monthly employee appreciation is acknowledged. Company is open with employees about status of the company, goal attainment, and ways to help the team reach the goals. Work/Life flexibility is important to the company. Quarterly town halls clearly show employees where we stand in terms of targets and attainment so you always know how the company is doing. Conservative in their revenue estimations, so you're unlikely to get a false sense of company performance.

Cons

Small, but growing company. Growing pains are good pains, but sometimes it is bad in the sense that workload is sometimes intense. However, they are good at seeing the workbalance issues and addressing them. Multiple positions need to be filled to help even the workload for each of the teams.
