Pros

The advancement opportunities in IT are there if you are willing to go for them. The company has provided numerous advancement options for me over the years.

Cons

While advancement within the region is available, advancement to other regions seems to be more limited. Part of the issue is salary adjustments for location pricing you out of transitioning to another division. There is an issue, as with most corporate settings, of getting "silo'd". For example, unless you work for a specific department at the corporate headquarters you most likely won't gain experience with AD, Exchange, VDI, and a lot of other technologies. Also, being a mostly Micorosoft shop your experience with Linux/Unix/Solaris will be severely limited.

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.
