Great Starter Job - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij LSS Data Systems

- If you are patient, LSS will always try to gear your job to something you want to do. - You are not a cog in the wheel, constant improvement is always in effect. - Look forward to being taken seriously and offering input immediately out of training. -Flexibility touches many areas. - Minnesota nice, in the sense that no one will really yell at you for anything, very low stress in development. - Great networking. - Fantastic planning and scheduling in development. - Some system tools are very neat and useful. - The software is interesting to dig into. - Adjustable hours are a huge plus when you have other items outside of 8-5. - As other bare reviews have mentioned, nickle soda and free coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. - Dress code is low with polo's and slacks for men. Yearly raises and bonuses (others have complained that LSS does not pay well, and I wholly disagree. Most companies do not give out yearly raises). - Benefits are out of this world. Hope this helps as one of the more positive and clear reviews for LSS. Just like anything, you get what you put in.

- Obsolete internal tools/software. - Learning curve can be very difficult and intimidating for many people. Hard work must be had to understand how things work and how things relate between departments. - Poor communication for company-wide changes as well as inter-group changes. - Documentation and searching for answers is a drawn-out, complicated process. - Large inconsistencies between groups (mismatched deadlines and expectancies) - The groups in charge of documentation and review are far stronger since I have started. - Minnesota Nice - Newbies only get one 4:3 monitor. - People have a hard time making a new pot of coffee. - People complain that the coffee is terrible. -

Think of LSS as great on the job training for another career in healthcare IT. If you're fresh out of college or looking for something new, this is the place to start. They'll hire with just about any degree, and in some cases if you have no degree. Put in your one or two years and you'll be able to apply to hospitals around the country and easily get a job paying double the salary. The people are great to work with. Everyone is going through the same thing you are, so you form a bond even outside of work.

Don't plan on anything close to a lavish lifestyle. You'll start making in the upper 30's to lower 40's for a salary. Because of the amount of work you are expected to do, you can never catch up on work. Clients become irritated because of this and they take it out on you. Although there may not be an alternative, the business model of LSS and MEDITECH is to find as many new employees as they can, pay them a low salary, and watch them walk out the door a couple years later. They lose a great amount of knowledge this way. Although since hospitals can afford to pay more money, there is no point in LSS paying a little extra. Everyone will leave anyway.
