Pros

Free parking. Good retirement options.

Cons

Health insurance coverage is bad compared to other large employers. They have cafeterias with some good options but it's not cheap. Nothing is free, including the coffee. IT management doesn't seem to know what they are doing. Basic requests take months and they don't have a service catalog. There is a lot of talk of change but when it's time do the hard work people make excuses and blame others. I have been with the company about 2 years and while some things have improved, it has been marginal. Expectations are not made clear, instead they ask for something that takes weeks to put together and they simply say "That is not what I want, do something else".

Pros

Remote job Good pay Decent Benefits

Cons

Overbearing, toxic management who don't really care about you as a person and your health, it's all about getting those numbers, I'm guessing that is how they receive their bonuses. People on the "team" who are not nurses makes you question why they needed some that were RN's. Unclear goal, unsure what it is that this position actually does for their members. Micromanagement.
