Pros

Overall there is a great sharing of information and knowledge in the interest of the patient at HMC. It is a very nice hospital to work at- new, clean and safe. Parking is free and easy.

Cons

There is not much room for advancement. People do not leave this place because it is an easy place to work. Small town, big hospital, cheap place to live. However, it leaves little room for advancement for up and comers. Pay is mediocre and it is one of the few hospitals that differentiates pay between MLTs and MTs. Hershey is trying very hard to compete with CHOP and Hopkins, but stretching their workers thin.

Pros

Mission-focused Some patients and employees are nice Good benefits

Cons

Crowded and Busy. In the cancer institute the lines for check-in went out the door and it seems like everyone forgets their manners in that place. Very little pay for dealing with so many angry patients
