The biggest con is all the layoffs of U.S. employees, specifically HIM jobs. Outpatient coding is now in India and Inpt coding will eventually go to India. Analysis just went to India. Outsourcing jobs to unqualified workers, lowering standards (such as error margins) just for cheap labor. Currently Analysis employees are training the Indian workers who are taking their jobs. Severance packages were NOT offered.
Management will not take responsibility for its actions. Mitigate blame for promotions. If you are not in management your job is not stable. This creates a cut throat environment, everyone for himself. Also, mngment teams seem to keep the company as silo departments..... no department knows what the other department is doing and no one is willing to talk to the other. I believe it's the effect of the everyone for himself culture R1 cultivates. No one wants to admit they don't know and need help.
Insurance is absolutely terrible. PTO you completely lose at the end of the year if you don't use it. This creates the effect of employees needing to use PTO at the end of year and management gets angry that everyone is taking PTO. Seems quite fixable if the company would allow some PTO rollover. But management has no common sense.
Because of layoffs and incompetent management with absolutely low to no communication between teams, morale is non existent. I am actively seeking employment elsewhere. What can I say other than this job pays the bills for now....
