Pros

BJC is willing to take a chance on qualified yet inexperienced individuals and therefore provides a good starting place to someone early in their career. It is a large company, so there are typically advancement opportunities in the form of other jobs within other areas of BJC.

Cons

The pay becomes relatively low as experienced is gained. In-position raises are rare. Merit raises are negligible and insufficient to cover inflation. Most times, the only way to increase your salary and stay with BJC is to transfer to a different job. It may be difficult for individuals without nursing or pharmacy degrees to advance their careers in a corporate position even though they are otherwise qualified and even though the position is not directly clinical. (IT/IS & financial tracts may be an exception.)

Pros

Education CAN be paid for, but you are locked into a contract and cannot switch positions

Cons

Raises mean nothing. 53 cents is unlivable. incredibly demanding job. Always short staffed so you are doing 2 - 4 peoples worth of work. Constant training that needs to be done every 3 months.
