Pros

CANT THINK OF ANY PROS - WAS HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE AND MANAGED BY TRIMEDX- BEING IN HEATHCARE AND SAVE PATIENTS LIVES

Cons

- Everyone in the decision making seats are hired from outside of the healthcare industry without any knowledge of how hospitals function. - Hire incompetent new college graduates as managers after enrolling hiring enrolling/ hiring them as "MANAGER PLUS ONE "program (what I call brain wash camp)..to manage whole clinical engineering department as "BEAN COUNTERS"..IT IS ALL ABOUT NUMBERS..NOT THE PEOPLE (THAT WHAT THEIR HR MOTO SAYS -NUMBERS TELL IT ALL) !!!! - NO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - I have been with them for two years, applied to their jobs few times, never considered or contacted..they hired manager with no experience through manageer plus one program..lost about 6 employees within less that a year (Ascension Merger) - Little chance of being promoted if you're doing well in your position.FAVORITSM across - Metric based performance evaluation no matter how good you are..chances to get promoted and recognized is very little unless you are an imaging or lab specialist (REVENUE GENERATING).. - Their policies applies to manufacturing not to actual clinical engineering environment.. - There is something called LAST TOUCH (manufacturing), as a biomed technician you have to touch every piece of equipment in the hospital once every year..FIGURE if you have assigned thousands of pieces of equipment - Company decides to bring on new accounts without assessing the state of current accounts.

Pros

PTO, Great Atmosphere at least in my area.

Cons

PAY. They want to give them easily 3% a year so you are making less money each year because inflation is usually higher than that. The only way to get more money is to gain some experience and training through traumatics and then leave to an OEM or something similar to get paid what you're worth. Just causes a lot of turnover and it's very hard to find new people with any experience so you are constantly doing the job of multiple people. It's a vicious cycle all because they don't want to pay people what they're worth as they progress in their career instead they would rather wait until the next guy comes in pay him even more than someone was asking for plus they still have to send him to all the trainings that the other guy had already completed. Just a poor business model that makes no sense to me.
