Pros

- The pay is fair at this hospital compared to other hospitals. - This hospital has good benefits. - Some of the people who work here (most technicians), are fine

Cons

Let's get started...... - First of all, the only way to move up in this place is to be a two-faced person and report ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to management. - Some technicians in this place will act as if they are cordial with you, friendly with you, care about you but behind closed doors, they will watch your every mistake in order to report you and move up in the "RANKS". - This place is very unfair in terms of rules and regulations (starting January 1st, 2016, there is no grace period and you will be faced with disciplinary action if you are even 1 min late, they have a zero-tolerance cell phone policy that will make you face disciplinary action if IT IS CHARGING ON THE WALL OUTSIDE THE PHARMACY, AWAY FROM THE WORK STATIONS). -There is so much tension in this place and people are stressed not because of the work load but because of the people such as the management team and the "cronies" of the management team. I made the huge mistake of trusting my co-workers in beliefs that we can work in accordance as a team but you can trust nobody. - Career advancement and Opportunities are a 50/50 in this place as few people in this place have made it out and made it to better positions and got promoted but those very few individuals were the cronies that told on other and made life like h**l for the rest of us technicians. -You can work your butt off and be the hardest worker in this place but if you are not liked or favored by anybody in the management team, then you are not going anywhere

Great place to work with great people. On the BU public health campus, so easy if you are a student looking for a job! Great healthcare coverage as well.

Cons

The salary is a little less than expected, but overall a great job.
