Vantaggi
-Pays oncoming staff appropriately and generously (plan to stay at that starting rate/salary during your tenure - unless you're a sales rep)
-Exceptional talent in ALL departments - I worked with some of the most competent, kind, and talented people while at bttn
-95% of all positions can and do function entirely remotely
-Flexible with PTO (unlimited PTO - many of the staff would travel around the country or world and would limit log-ins while away)
-All departments collaborate and pull their weight
-Exciting vision for changing healthcare distribution for customers and vendors/suppliers
-Limited micromanaging - must be a self-starter
-Senior management is open to ideas, recommendations, visions, etc., for improving processes or growth from the company
Svantaggi
-Start-up environment that may not be for everyone (lots of changes, aborting long projects mid way through, long hours for most)
-Often overpromise and underdeliver to staff (pay increases/promotions) and clients (challenges to obtain non-stocked and backordered items in a timely manner and encouraging the customer to wait for the product with bttn rather than purchasing it through their alternative source to meet their immediate needs - in healthcare, the primary goal should be to help our clients be successful and be reliable to patient care - that's what builds trust and lasting relationships in the healthcare community)
-Quarterly reduction of force layoffs
-Limited room for growth (no merit raises or performance reviews/increases)
-Began to outsource talent from India and Philippines (generally good and competent hires), but at the expense of US-based staff
