Pros

Some great individual contributors and managers who sincerely try to do quality work and treat people well. 401k and other benefits are decent even if not what they once were. New Headquarters in Eagan (oddly designed but pretty to look at) replacing outdated buildings. Also, when done correctly it can be rewarding to work on projects for a healthcare company that take privacy and patient care seriously.

Cons

There is little to no leadership at Prime. People in positions of power are either constantly changing (in my time and off the top of my head: 2 CEOs, 3 CIOs, 3 CFOs and another coming, and we reported to 4 different VPS at one point or another) or will run screaming in the other direction of the need to make a decision. Processes are very convoluted which kills a sense of "ownership" and technology is outdated. HR is also a black hole from which no light or matter of substance escapes. Yearly "raises" sometimes fall below the rate of inflation so get all the money you can upfront and don't expect any help with career development.

Pros

It's a great place to work, the workload is very manageable and more advanced employees are always happy to help answer any questions. They do not micromanage and as it is a remote position, weekly meetings to chat about life over some coffee or play competitive games really keep us engaged.

Cons

The only con I would say is that it was a contract! It seems like a great place to work long-term

Pros

- VTO during non-peak season - Mandatory and Voluntary OT during peak season - Few calls per day - personable employees

Cons

- it’s nearly impossible to get hired on full-time. - as a contractor, you have no benefits and can’t partake in any of the company events or even give kudos to your colleagues. - the metrics are somewhat doable, but there are many technicalities that cause them to mess up a lot of the time. - Two months prior to being fired without warning, I was under the impression I was on a written warning, and not a final but was told I would get a follow up email letting me know about it and I never got that email. I did persist and ask about it a few weeks later and still had no follow up. - if you are a contractor, they will look for anything in your performance to fire you as soon as the peak season is over. A colleague was fired that same week due to suspicion of them having a mouse mover with no evidence provided. -I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for two months straight with no days off until they made it mandatory to have at least one day off per week. - two days prior to me getting fired, in a meeting I was told that everything was looking great and that I was fine. It’s very odd how that tune changed abruptly.
