Worst job of my 35+ year career...seen only as a $$ making number...

Business Outlook

Pros

I got paid (below industry standard) and was not on welfare. I had some great co-workers, all have left or are miserable and looking for a better opportunity.

Cons

Insane workload, no work/life balance. Low pay for industry. Benefits slashed with merger. Severe lack of transparency. Rules do not apply to all. High turnover at all levels. New hire's not trained, a sink or swim on boarding process. Micro-management is the norm. Lack of collaboration between departments. Upper level management has little clue what those "under" them do - yes, you are made to feel subordinate and inferior. Low morale.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have found a supportive and collaborative work environment that offers a great work life balance.

Cons

Lack of career options for clinically focused personnel are a problem. In order to move onward and upward you must be willing to move into project management

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible remote work Good Benefits New HQ location with good amenities

Cons

Company's new merger ruined the work place environment, the new management deteriorated in the past year especially the IT department. It is no longer "Let's work together for better solutions" it has become more like "We order, you work!" . This has become a trend in almost all the departments and this is not a very good reflection of the company's motto.
