Pros

The Indianapolis central office appears to be more focused on technician training and test equipment needs than in the past. Good prospects if you're a project manager, director or any other admin profession.

Cons

Inexperienced technical management (their "manager plus one" program doesn't work). Poor advancement prospects for technicians (no technician hierarchy). Operations are conflicted due to the use of metrics, KPI's and other business measurement tools, trying to implement for-profit methods in a non-profit environment. Vendor related training is like making a deal with the devil as Trimedx will send a factory trained tech from their hospital to a hospital elsewhere in the U.S. to maintain/repair something that the staff is not trained on. In-sourcing tech work is flawed, unrealistic and creates staff workload due to poor planning (ex.: Drop equipment contracts then realize they need to hire more staff to support it). Procurement and purchases are unnecessarily scrutinized with double management approvals (I've yet to be denied any purchase requests since this was implemented, it just takes more time). "Use it or lose it" PTO policy is not good for technicians whose daily attendance is in large demand.

Pros

Healthcare benefits and pto accrual

Cons

Site manager had no supervision skills and a bad attitude. Continuously spread drama between employees, discussed salaries between technicians. Gave annual and biannual performance reviews but promotions and raises were not based on performance. Raises were biased and to employees favored by site manager. Empty promises to retain employees. No standards and a concerning tolerance for laziness in which work was passed off to more productive employees. Lead technicians were given tasks of supervising lazy employees and asked to deal with it. Ultimately making non-supervision compensated employees responsible for their actions. Supervisors had very concerning language and profanity to technician's. All is all, could be a great job but management and lack of support from HR makes it a hostile work environment. Lack of training, asked to complete maintenance and repairs on equipment without proper training. No opportunities for advancement within the company.
