Pros

Great opportunity for contractors to rack in the money since management changes direction like a squirrel in a pile of nuts. I gave one star since there were no negative stars to give. Otherwise it be a - 5 stars.

Cons

Most managers are lazy and clueless when it comes to doing what matters for building well respected organizations. Projects are always late and over budget. Security and Engineering from the VPN down have cultimated a culture of head in the sand, deny and interfere as well as save money on business critical needs and support til escalated to CIO. The CIO is a mental case as well as many of the top leadership. There's no reason to keep this leadership employed and there should be a wholesale leadership restructuring from the top down. Replacing the incompetent CIO, Directors and VP'so would just be the start. This company has the absolute worst reputation for poorly treating employees, contractors and faculties' staff. This company is ripe for a class action lawsuit. Just as they were ripe to let hackers walk away with 4.5 million patient records. Nice job Security leadership. .. BTW it will happen again since no one is being held accountable and volunteers from the community were leadershipso solution to addresting the massive influx of complaints.

Pros

Good pay Autonomy when working at individual facilities Chance to connect with good people

Cons

Corporate is an extremely political environment where you feel you must constantly be looking over your shoulder. You can feel the fear as soon as you walk through the door.

Pros

Benefit package is very good, affordable for a family. Large company. Compensation is decent on hire, but don't expect raises. Great place to work if you're a trained monkey.

Cons

Very little planning goes into any change in procedure or process, resulting in disaster most often. IT server space is inadequate for the number of users accessing the system at the month's end and the company sees this as "normal". Constant threats of lay-offs every time the census drops. Any job functions requiring thought process are outsourced. No job advancement opportunities. Expect to work on personal time. "doing more with less".
