Pros

Good benefits and some challenging projects. Good benefits and some challenging projects. Working with the doctors in real world patient care is very interesting and worthwhile.

Cons

Management in Information Systems STINKS! They are a cliché, if you get accepted in the cliché and "Do as you are told" and subscribe to "When we want your opinion we will give it to you" then you are OK. However, cross the line and try to think on your own and you will immediately be facing a "Performance Improvement Plan" and then be shown the door. If you are an experienced IT professional then take a pass on this company or you will be very frustrated.

Pros

Good benefits and generally good leadership

Cons

Typical large healthcare organization. Affordable care act ruined healthcare so its more about making money because it has become more of a business than care.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
