Benefits could be better. Projects don't seem to last long.

Low pay, benefits for medical are ridiculously expensive considering it is in healthcare industry. The people they have aligned to leadership for departments are based on popularity and desperation because they have no experience or background in the areas they are responsible for leading. They dont respect work life balance and will work you till your burned out and try to avoid approving your PTO. Its amazing what you get away with if your on the right side of favoritism. I worked in numerous departments in hopes of isolated experience but it is the same throughout. They look to ship all their jobs overseas as much as possible and it is always a secret as the training team gets prepared to bring on overseas staff. We are told not to say anything that after the training the staff in states will be let go.
