Pros
The best part about working at this company was the camaraderie among coworkers. While I was employed at TriMed, my coworkers and I were a close knit group and had a great time working with one another. The topics we wrote about were very interesting. I truly learned a great deal about various topics in healthcare-namely radiology and health imaging, The office itself (not sure if it still exists) is in a decent part of town (near State Street) so it’s pretty convenient.
Cons
Where do I start? The management team is atrocious. They have no business plan in place and they put no forethought into any of their business decisions. This, in turn, creates unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty among the staff. Essentially, there is no job security so if a prospective candidate is looking to stay at this establishment for the long haul, please reconsider applying here. No one knows if they’ll be laid off the next day, or in some cases, the next hour. They are too focused on the number of stories written in a day and have very little concern for quality. Writing two high quality stories in a day is significantly better than five mediocre ones. The CEO does not possess business acumen or emotional intelligence and is in the process of running what could be a thriving publishing business into the ground. To this day I’m still unsure of what the CCO does for the company. While her position with the company is meant to oversee and guide editorial staff, more often than not, she was a hindrance rather than help.
