A lot of jobs have phased out . Things take a long time in terms of policies and changes implemented. Say one thing and takes a year or so to actually happen.

Cons

-Limited room for transfers or advancement -Terrible Management -As a provider, I still have to interact with this company and have never dealt with ruder people who think they are better than you when trying to facilitate patient care -Poor access to care-if you can wait weeks or months, than you may get a visit -They are so far in debt because of constant construction that they are looking at employee layoffs -I've never worked anywhere where management felt so threatened by people doing advanced certifications or degrees

Pros

Nice facility in middle of nowhere west Madison. If you’re old, like >55 you’re in the right place.

Cons

Can’t change process or thoughts to save themselves. Miserable managers. Incompetent decision making. Zero incentive to do more than minimum because you won’t be rewarded for hard work. If you enjoy working in a 1970’s IBM you’re in the right spot. 20-40 year olds need not apply. This place will suck the life from anyone energetic, creative or motivated.
