Pros

Compensation and benefits are good.

Cons

It is shock that a publicly traded organization can operate in such an incompetent way. The new top management in IT is even worst than the last one. Top guy is a friendly politician but without any direction, vision and has no knowledge of healthcare. You rarely see him outside of his office. All of the employees operate as an individuals without any communication, structure or direction. The AVPs act like they are gods and if you bring them gifts and please them every day you get promoted. Other than good salary and benefits this not a good place for someone who wants a long career and is mostly frustrating and stressful. You are not productive because of zero direction and your skills become rusty.

Pros

The on boarding, orientation, initial training, compensation,401k, employee stock program, benefits, perks, the gym, and prior to the Pandemic the professional growth workshops. They offer merit increases and bonuses.

Cons

Cross training can be peer to peer and for short time, yet you are held accountable to master it and audited even if you had little training or experience. There are culture and values along with"no retaliation and no harassment" policies, however there is also no one to take your concerns to that is non-biased. No one to handle the work place bullies or hold management accountable(HR?conflict resolution?) They let the repeated problem people carry on for too long. They do sneaky lay-offs. The internal job posting seems good except, if you apply and you meet all the qualifications your manager or others can block you! They will let you apply to several positions, maybe even on your team or department and will not let you transition or go to another position. Management will not even tell you the reason they need you on the team and won't let you get hired on another team.
