Pros

Vestment in three years; immediate health benefits from first day of employment; job stability in health care is good during rough economic times; to most people "any job" is a good job these days because of the economy.

Cons

Terrible employee and management morale. Unhealthy levels of stress put upon employees because the basic tools needed to process the work are useless (mainframe system from the 1980's and cannot handle the volume of work; "work arounds" used to complete basic processes via Access databases that are overloaded by demand and not meant to be used for high volume), quality of work of employees judged unfairly - three bad audits in three consecutive months can get you terminated. But the systems used for the "tools" employees need to process the work is flawed, so a mistake that Auditors mark you down for may very well be caused by lack of information; bad training; system failure - but you have no way to prove it.

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
