Pros

-Flexible work schedule -Summer hours -Management is willing to provide as much responsibility as you're willing to take on -Friendly work environment -Medical field provides a very stable employment environment -Good benefits package

Cons

-Top down management style that doesn't welcome dissenting opinions -Non existent professional development. -Company values external over internal experience. Saw numerous qualified people get passed over for promotions in favor of hiring someone external. -No recognition. Mediocre work earns you the same review/raise as doing extraordinary work. This has led to a lazy organization. -Heavy work load. The company is chronically understaffed with a backlog of projects. If you work hard to get your work done early, you are "rewarded" with a new project. -Penny smart, pound foolish. They're worried about preventing the purchase of name brand pens while refusing to increase head count that could implement huge cost savings.
