Pros

Job security, benefits and general salary is good. The location is rural and safe and close to many interesting cities and outdoor activities. The relationship to Penn State is a real plus and opens up a lot of personal opportunities. Staff really cares for the patients and their families. It's authentic.

Cons

Very political. Getting things through key decision makers can be challenging. Items are often slowed in committees and the overall feel is very institutional. Many legacy employees struggle to let go of things of the past and this creates an uninviting culture from colleagues.

Do yourself a favor and don't come to work here.

Pros

There aren't any pros.

Cons

After 4 years of working more than 40 hours a week, I am still a "temporary" employee. I have no job protection, health benefits are expensive and no vacation or sick days. Morale in our department is very low due to poor management. I cannot even believe most of the stuff I've seen go on here.

Not A Safe Environment For Non-White Employees

Pros

Employees are able to choose their hours. Taking time off is an easy process. The actual work itself, is great.

Cons

There’s very little to no diversity. A very large percentage of employees are white, even new hires are all white, no mix. Reporting anything to HR results in more poor treatment. HR is more concerned with silencing an employee rather than fixing the problem. A senior has bullied multiple people out of the company and no one complains, because they don’t feel safe. Management is friends with the senior and have always protected them. Non-white employees have endured countless discrimination and have been cast out from the team. There’s been multiple incidents where other employees have made rude comments to nonwhite employees during team meetings with management present, Both times management was present, saw what happened but neither stepped in to correct it. Voicing concerns about the work process and things to do for improvement aren’t welcomed. Issues addressed years ago, still remain unresolved.
