Pros

Great benefits. Company culture is ok, if not a little disorganized. The company has a great on-boarding process; and it's apparent that employees do matter here, to a certain extent. But depending on your specific department, middle management can tend to be extremely unprofessional.

Cons

Middle management is a glorified version of a babysitter. If you're expecting a career path, you'd better not rely on middle management, as they tend to oppress innovation and stifle your growth. Exempt (salary) employees are held accountable to a strict 8 hour schedule, despite the company wide weigh/grade scale between NonExempt vs Exempt employees for yearly reviews. Exempts are weighed 0% on "Reliability", per company standards, but if you're unfortunate enough to land yourself a babysitter of a manager, you'll be reprimanded (publicly) just the same. Because you're dealing with healthcare laws and regulations (i.e., HIPA, PHI, etc.), expect to be hindered by lots of bureaucratic red tape.

Pros

The retirement benefits are a plus here. I really have nothing positive to say about this company. The manager and director I worked with are utterly unprofessional. They do not communicate at all and sometimes bully their staff.

Cons

The team I am working with gets offended when I send out project updates and deliver projects on time and early. My manager and director would send a staff to HR with a written warning without any pre-communication. And they would tell that staff that he is being terminated with ABC plan...
