Pros

Beautiful campus and generally decent people; nice benefits

Cons

If you want to work in a sweatshop like environment, then this is the place to be. Some managers are extremely rude and disrespectful. You will not be compensated like you would be at other companies. I was very excited to work here but very disappointed in the culture and the inability to have a work-life balance because they do not want to pay additional employees to work there. WAY too much work, but will not allow overtime? Managers will do very little to help promote you or transition you to a department that you want to be in. Managers will play favorites in sales, which is absolutely unprofessional. Lack of support from all angles. Couldn't leave fast enough and the best decision I made was leaving.

Pros

Putting patients first is not just a slogan.

Cons

The company is very political. The conditions for advancement vary widely from group to group and based as much on popularity as ability.
