Pros

Access to cutting edge technology, vendor relationships, and extremely knowledgeable coworkers.

Cons

Some of upper management changes strategic direction so fast and frequently that you are better off ignoring them and just keep doing what you know had to be done. sooner or later the critical systems update project you were working on that was indefinitely delayed will all of a sudden become an emergency again and the new product deployment management old to be working on instead (that they already paid for 3 weeks of training for 15 people) that was scheduled for deployment in a year is now postponed for at least 3 years because now you are facing a million dollar extended support charge to continue receiving support for the product that 3 months ago decided didn't need an upgrade Even though you already ordered the new hardware for it and had to return it because the upgrade was cancelled.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
