Pros

Large organization to learn various business functions through.

Cons

Med-Surg has been a nonstop whirlwind of change through at least the last five years. Senior leadership remain in the same positions despite consistently missing out on goals they set. Lots of "we do this because it's been done this way" mentalities amongst leaders, making long-term positive changes difficult to realize.

Pros

Decent benefits, Remote-ish company with options for hybrid for those who want it. 401k matching is okay and tuition reimbursement (5k cap per year) is a decent perk.

Cons

The pay is pretty terrible. They're committed to never pay above 50th percentile for any role unless they're desperate. Also requires you to live in a hub area even if your work is fully remote and they won't offer reimbursement to move between hubs. Internally, there's a lot of chaos and lack of direction. Management can hear "I really don't recommend this plan of action" and be presented empirical data as to why from every level and they just do it anyway, then face no repercussions when everything falls apart and pretend they had zero warning. And despite being "tech-oriented" their tech solutions are pretty terrible because they don't actually invest in the parts of tech that make tech work. Their company mottos are also all fluff. They will boast how they're helping patients and then announce they're shutting down programs for at-risk patients who cannot access their meds any other way because it no longer fits their "direction" for the future.
