Pros

For project manager/implementation consultant position only: -- Excellent job right out of college (this is the target employee anyway), all majors welcome -- Good pay and excellent benefits, excellent raises and bonuses, travel bonuses available -- Relatively easy to switch roles or applications if desired -- Good application specific training -- Clinical training is getting better -- Excellent facilities--campus is being centralized, will likely share an office. Great, subsidized cafeteria -- Easy to get help from others during training and afterward -- Can count on fellow employees when working together on projects -- Generally good feedback and direction from Team Leads (obviously dependent on the person) -- Job is more "recession proof" than many others -- International opportunities possible -- 1 month sabbatical every 5 years with paid flight & accomodations for you and up to 3 people -- Industry leader -- Company and surrounding are has solid GLBT community

Cons

For project manager/implementation consultant position only: -- Job doesn't involve any "project management" until months or a year in -- Young, straight out of college workforce, can be immature -- Poor work-life balance, rarely work 90+ hour weeks -- Extensive travel, possibly on weekends -- High turnover, most work for > 2 years, many 1 year or less -- Ranking system for implementation services is arbitrary -- Customer "hand holding" at a ridiculous level -- Internal documentation of recommendations and examples of past experience very lacking -- Internal documentation of application level items vary by team from poor to good -- Unrealistically high expectations in some cases -- Required to work within 45 minutes of Madison, WI (location may be an issue for some) -- "Non-hierarchy" is non-existant -- Lack of clinically trained employees -- Poor trainining in management/business, most employees not trained in this at all before starting
