payment posting, a/r, and other task assigned; most enjoyable was learning something new and the work environment; hardest part is working with someone that does not want to help you.

I have gained a great deal of experience with computers and project management. Often, I have to lead calls with clients for data collection or design decisions. My coworkers are very helpful, especially when I was just starting. The hard part of my job would be the technical side of being able to run or manipulate scripts to perform queries or other – more... functionality for troubleshooting. This is dificult for me because I am not that highly technical. – less

I loved my role here and learned an amazing amount every day. I enjoyed all my clients and being able to create experiences.

Enjoyed working with the other consultants. Management was quick to praise for work that was completed on-time, on-budget. Working with the client base was the best part of the job.

They do not like to talk in person only via e-mail. They do not make decisions on their own and only listen to hear-say from others in the company. The only enjoyable part is their insurance was not bad.

Great place to start your career. The benefits and salary are really good. The only negative I have is that the hours can be long. They do try to keep a work home balance.

A typical day generally consists of doing work with HIV data. One day, I may be analyzing CDC/HOPS HIV data that we are either presenting at a conference or submitting to a scientific journal. The next day I may be writing up a scientific manuscript. On other days, i may be in conferences with IT staff at clinics and hospitals in the Washington DC area, – more... in order to prepare their EMR data for migration into an online data collection tool. The next day might consist of diagnosing a software issue that a user is having difficulty with.

I have learned a great deal of SAS programming, and I have started to delve into SQL programming as well.

Management has been very supportive throughout my career, and I have been blessed with wonderful co-workers.

The hardest part of my job is that there can be so many different tasks that are high priority that need my immediate attention. But I do enjoy the excitement of that too.

The part of my job that I enjoy the most is the fact that I making making a difference in lives of HIV infected individuals around the country. – less

It is good. Depends on the team you one is in. It can either be good or bad. Co workers are good. They help quite a bit.

Productive and fast paced great place to work using latest technology and tools to promote an error free electronic medical record

Get used to 100 hour weeks, on call for months on end. Especially avoid CernerWrosk.

Call Doctors and Hospital - clients and secure payment for IT software purchased. Majority of the time work with the AP and VP of the Financial departments. Some of the time you work with the CFO/CEO to set up payments for larger accounts.
People are young and very talented. Very helpful and willing to teach and provide helpful tools to get through – more... your workload.
Hardest part of the job is the control over the accounts. Some of the higher up managers or AE or Sales function control the collection attempts, making it difficult to call and work with the clients to pay.
Most enjoyable part of the job is resolving/payment on a big account. – less

Daily learning, problem solving, "script Kitty", lack of training to be sufficent for job.

I only worked for Cerner for just over 5 months. I typically worked 55-60 hours per week and the position I was in, was "reactive" by nature. I worked trouble tickets day by day, and felt like I was spinning my wheels most of the time.

I learned to call home health agencies to coordinate the nurse to teach the patient to inject themselfs with Copaxone. I also had to do contracts with the home health agencies. I really enjoyed meeting and doing business with all the nurses nationally.

Great place to get your career started. It's a very large company so if that's something you're looking for you are in the right place.

Interactions with patients and problem solving. Working with Teachers was definitely a fun challenge.

I started Cerner out of college and I liked that they tended to hire a lot of people who were in a similar life position as me. So you got to make friends and socialize in an almost college atmosphere. But what Cerner gets by hiring people in that life position, are people who believe it's normal to put in 60+ hour weeks and work through the night on – more... projects because the scope kept changing. As you grow in Cerner, you either continue to believe that or start to desire a more equitable work/life balance.

Generally, I liked that most of my managers would listen to suggestions and give you the opportunity to run with special projects. However, even if the project is successful, once you leave the team, there was often lack of interest in continuing the project (unless your manager wholeheartedly bought into it). – less
