A great place to learn new skills

Pros

Got the opportunity to try a lot of new things and work on developing my skills. HCA is a diverse company and we have a fun atmosphere to work in. Things are fast-paced but not harsh.

Cons

Negotiate your salary up front. Raises are quite small, promotion opportunity is a matter of luck or skill. Some people just go up and up, others never hear anything back when they apply for job after job. They like to post openings even though they've already found someone to fill the position.

Pros

The office had a comfortable atmosphere and upper management tried very hard to encourage the "team" feeling. The yearly office holiday parties (Halloween and Christmas), birthday celebrations and bonuses were all part of working there.

Cons

Corporate closed the office in '07 due to the rising cost of operation. I loved working there and would have liked to move up within the company as I continued my education.
