Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of employees with the drive to be successful.

Cons

*Each division has their own objectives and Leadership is not on the same page. *Strategic direction does not exist and there is no rhyme or reason for changes made within the organization. *Salary ranges are wildly inconsistent. Long term employees are never kept in range of their position unless they are VPs and above.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, unlimited vacation and PTO when in a manager position or higher, great 401K.

Cons

This company is controlling. I worked in the Speaker Bureau department under Cadent Medical Communications and their leadership team is very unorganized and don’t communicate well. The managers are controlling and talk horribly and unprofessionally about employees to other employees. When multiple complaints were made to HR nothing was done about it. Also, they keep losing speaker bureau business and can’t get any more. They don’t train their employees properly and therefor they don’t do their jobs correctly. I worked here for 5 years and it has gone down hill quickly.
