Pros

Formerly great benefits, currently still good, but forever erroding. Certain departments have great culture. When you start, you'll feel like you can make a difference.

Cons

You rapidly realize no matter how hard you work, you likely can't make a true difference. Doctors egos often trump common sense. State employer in a state with a war of public workers. Little to no advancement and said little advancement is often in name only. Pay increases don't often beat inflation. Overall culture harkens back to the 50's and 60's style. More entrenched middle management than you can shake a stick at. More VPs than you could ever learn the names of, much less ever meet or know what they actually do.

Pros

Good benefits for full-timers. I was full-time but on a temporary, seasonal basis, so I didn't get those benefits. Coworkers are generally friendly. Pay is competitive, but not amazing. They rarely ever want you putting in more than 40h/week to pay overtime, so it offers a good work/life balance.

Cons

Office gossip can get bad. Just starting off, the benefits/vacation/salary aren't that great - it takes time to move up the ranks. There really isn't any way to fast-track this movement... you get an annual review and that's pretty much your only opportunity to demonstrate what you're worth and demand more for your abilities.
