Great culture and compensation!

Pros

Competitive compensation, great family feel (at least in my department), leadership supported development, work with purpose (our patients), transparent leadership, overall good culture and talented colleagues. I really felt like I was making a difference here!

Cons

Some departments are lean in size, meaning some employees were overworked. However, on the upside, this meant more responsibility and development opportunities.
