Pros

The people that are "working bees" are intelligent and competent,

Cons

Management does not know what each Employee needs to be able to perform their job duties. Management is focused on "looking good" and in order to do so, they have the habit of "pointing fingers" at the staff in order to "excuse" their lack of knowledge when giving confused and wrong instructions. The project management Team is inexperience and does not know how to manage timelines and deliverables. They like to cut-corners in order to meet deadlines and get their "bonus" even if it means to get things done without following regulations. Managers are inexperience and only look at doing things "my way" because is the only way I know how to do it. Their ideal employee is a Caucasian Female that only does what is told without thinking of the consequences for the Team, Customers and Patients. HR Team lacks of knowledge of the minimal industry standards when dealing with claims and complaints, they just "look the other way".
