Pros

I'm only giving this job an extra star because of the physicians. Several of them are very passionate about their job and truly a pleasure to work for at the hospital.

Cons

Management is very poor. There is a lack of trust of the employees to be able to do their job which translated into micromanagement. The same rules do not apply to each employee (using vacation time for coming in 20 minutes late). Management also tends to be dishonest about what work they actually do. Lastly, there is no support for continued learning or advancements within Sentara.

Pros

-Decent benefits -No Layoffs -Mostly friendly teams -promote from within

Cons

-Monopoly on Health IT in the region, no other options to work in the field without being open to extensive travel -No flex time, it is determined per team and manager, some teams get extensive work from home time during holidays other teams only in case of emergency (applied only to IT) -Very little training offered, or options for certification/vendor training -Poor all around project management, employees are hired based on technical skill but PM work is required in the job, there is little to no training to compensate for this -Lower range on the pay scale for titles, and very little chance to increase other than moving high into upper management, even they are underpaid
