Cons
I started to type direction-less, but I believe the reality far worse. I will be amazed if this company is not bankrupt once they lose their largest Customer (Community Health System). The CEO (Bill Anderson) and the board are clinging to the fool-hearted idea they will lead the company to go public and subsequently provide themselves with retirement parachutes. The amount of net growth the company has seen in the seven years since HMS bought and became MEDHOST is the proof they are trading in fools gold. They ran the most qualified CEO (Craig Herrod) out the door in a continuation of Bill's flawed leadership and vision. His arrogant style of leadership has infected the leaders below him, creating a frat-boy culture of bitter ineptitude. This, in turn, has lead to the creation of a cutthroat and politically-motivated clique that will turn their back on you at any moment. This may sound like an unfortunately typical example of Corporate America. I may also sound like a jaded former employee with the sole goal of smearing the company who treated me so poorly after so many years of service. As always, you are welcome to discount me as a blowhole and continue laughing at my review. However, I would urge you to do the following: If you are currently an employee, ask yourself if any of what I have written is true. If you think it is not, ask others. If they agree, one of us is completely out of touch with reality and the natural course of time will resolve that for all of us. Alternatively, if you think any of what I have written is true, ask yourself if you are part of the problem or the solution. Do not sacrifice yourself, your career, your morals, your ethics, or your humanity for a company or its leaders that would sooner expel you for their failings than reward you for your integrity. There are leaders in the world who value their employees and base their success on your success. If you seek them out, they will welcome you. If you are a prospective employee, do not take only my word as reason to avoid this company. Continue with your own research. Ask your contacts in this niche field for their experience. Look online to find a hospital near you using any of the MEDHOST products and go visit that hospital. Walk around and see how the environment is from a patient perspective. Ask employees about their satisfaction with MEDHOST. Above all, follow your intuition. Your gut-instinct tends to be right.
