Pros

The work was quite easy and the atmosphere was laid back. The company has potential for growth, albeit slow, for those that work hard. Great location for the IT group to work with a nice new area.

Cons

The problem with the laid back atmosphere is that the overall system health was always an issue and the managers in charge of the systems had no clue as to what the problems were and how to track or monitor them. The help-desk is useless and is probably one of the biggest issues there. (Just ask any employee. They call it "The Helpless Desk".) The NOC needs leadership not some director type that never goes to visit the department. The most senior employees were always chosen over the more experienced folks with leadership quality. Management is definitely an issue there. Lets not forget about the below average salary's they pay for new employees and promoted individuals. The below the cost of living increases in pay are the worst.

Pros

There are good people that work at Westbank Ochsner. I met some of the sweetest and most genuine people, but there are a lot more people who will make you question working there. Okay benefits and pto

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. You're more likely to get a position over someone who is more qualified if you know someone that can get you an in. There are leaders with the mentality "I am an overachiever, so I expect others to perform at my level with no recognition." There is a yes man mentality, so if you say no to any requests, especially from a leader, then it's frowned upon. I was expected to answer calls, texts, and emails outside of my working hours. If you do your job well and someone else it lacking, people will turn to you for the gap with no benefits other than extra stress and maybe a thank you. I can keep going, but I think the gist is clear.
