Business Outlook
Pros
Generous 401K package and holiday shutdowns in the summer and winter. Talented and very smart people. Many folks very long-tenured, reflecting their commitment to stay with the company.
Cons
Salaries on the lower side for the industry. Corporate values as stated place shareholder and competitive considerations above patient considerations, despite CEO's emphasis on the latter during speeches. Little opportunity for advancement: managers themselves acknowledge that "professional development" consists of parallel moves across teams. Supportive services such as HR and IT are largely automated or contracted, so responsiveness can be slow.
