Pros

Variety of projects impacting the enterprise and local regional hospitals. Good benefits, except PTO. Average good compensation.

Cons

PTO is mixed with national holidays and PTOs are earned on a monthly basis. As you earn PTO, 8 hours are then deducted for national holidays. Layers of executive at regional level who report to headquarters with no decision making authority.
