Pros
- Flexible Schedule and generous vacation after a few years. - Independent work environment which is great if you can keep yourself accountable. - Several managers were terrific and offered fun incentives, a few were way too controlling and watched your hourly productivity. - If you are passionate about credit balances and reviewing hospital bills day in and day out, this will be your dream job. Could possibly lead to a revenue cycle position at a healthcare facility.
Cons
- No opportunity for growth or advancement. - Work is 100% repetitive - your job on day one will be the same on day 1,000; if you desire to advance in your career at all, stay away. If you stay too long, it may be very difficult to transition to a different industry- how applicable is hospital billing to the rest of the world? While the company prides itself as a CPA based firm, none of the employees I met in my time had their CPA or were considering pursuing it. Analysts review hospital bills only, nothing accounting related. Very little salary growth due to parent company Xerox's stronghold on CDR. Unfortunate that the business was sold several years ago and the old greener pasture days of CDR have been taken over by meeting Xerox's black and white bottom lines and quotas. I think this also puts extraordinary and at times unrealistic pressure on management.
