Pros

Progressive health system-leader in health care, innovative. Truly focused on hiring bright, talented Physicians and Specialists.

Cons

certain departments have high turnover, in part due to the cliques that are prominent. Watched many new college grads arrive with high hopes of fitting in and starting a promising career, only to be knocked down by leadership cliques. Especially true if you are an above average looking young woman. The other women, supposed leaders, can be brutal. Not all departments, worked in several that were just bad-.

Pros

For the Company: - Large medical facility, providing excellent patient care in a rural setting - Excellent time off plan, if you're full-time - Excellent benefits from day one, if you're full-time - Excellent health insurancem if you're full-time - Room to grow professionally - Collaborative atmosphere - Interested in providing excellent patient care - Gives back to the community - Selectively taking on other clinics and hospitals in the area, to prevent their dissolution, and to maintain quality care for the region - Physicians work for the hospital, not at/from it. - Geisinger was an early adopter of EMR (EPIC), and put a lot of effort into building and maintaining its IT For my department: - No micro-managing - Friendly coworkers and team-mates - Ability to work independently - Management has my back in most cases - Management is very understanding of time off needs and work/life balance - Management is approachable - Team building stuff, such as fitness challenges, picnics, etc.

Cons

For the company: - Hard to get hired. I started through the in house temp, and when a position was specifically created for me to go full-time, HR's applicant tracking system said I was unqualified. - If you're not full-time, you're not going to get much of anything - Doctor's often have god complexes and ridiculous egos - Nursing staff feels overworked and under-appreciated - A general sense of being too large - A disjoint between upper management and everyone else, despite management's efforts For IT: - IT is goo large, and too departmentally fractured to work effectively. - Collaboration is in name only For my department: - IT as a whole is so large that it often feels like teams are working against each other - A sense of distrust / blaming / etc between teams - Undercurrent of favoritism

Pros

Everyone is very friendly. If you ever need anything all the staff, doctors included, would love to go out of their way to help. They do a lot of community service as groups that makes it a very good experience if you are interested. Work hours are very flexible around school schedules if needed.

Cons

I work in the emergency room so you see some things not all people can stomach.
