Decent job

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to travel to different states for work if you want. The education provided is decent. The pay with built in overtime is not awful.

Cons

They me into the company just for them to tell me a month later they are closing that base and knew about it for 8 months. They offered jobs elsewhere in the company, then rescinded those offers from others and offered them float positions in which they had to interview for. There are far too many levels of management and seems to make communication difficult. Pay is not on par with hospital programs in the areas around.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, Unlimited PTO for Salary employees, Work-Life balance. Great co-workers. Growth opportunities, if lucky.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, Have to apply for promotions or change work area to get promotions. Managers believe you must work through each job title step eg. analyst I to analyst II, and so on. They don't approve of skipping roles.
