Pros

Solid talent across organization; good benefits

Cons

The deep cost controls do not allow for much personal growth developmentally or financially. Though the company is doing well, headcounts are not refilled. Very tense organization.

Business Outlook

Pros

-Flexible work schedule -Summer hours -Management is willing to provide as much responsibility as you're willing to take on -Friendly work environment -Medical field provides a very stable employment environment -Good benefits package

Cons

-Top down management style that doesn't welcome dissenting opinions -Non existent professional development. -Company values external over internal experience. Saw numerous qualified people get passed over for promotions in favor of hiring someone external. -No recognition. Mediocre work earns you the same review/raise as doing extraordinary work. This has led to a lazy organization. -Heavy work load. The company is chronically understaffed with a backlog of projects. If you work hard to get your work done early, you are "rewarded" with a new project. -Penny smart, pound foolish. They're worried about preventing the purchase of name brand pens while refusing to increase head count that could implement huge cost savings.

Pros

* Core values of the rank and file - people care about people and the products they provide * Great view of unique healthcare markets * Great physical environment, facilities and services for employees

Cons

* Politically charged atmosphere makes it difficult to understand true business dynamics. Level of political maneuvering and associated risk is more pronounced than in other corporate environments. * Decisions - about business investment, promotions, plans - are based on personal impressions and biases versus data.
