Pros
403b Clinic contributes up to 50 cents on the dollar (after two years of working), totaling 6% or 14/15k a year (I forget which, i haven't reached 2yr marker). Raises I get regular raises, this past year was 3% (after 1st solid year of working here) Great opportunity You can move around from department to department after 2 years in 1 department. Great Benefits My Health coverage is cheap. I don't know what to compare it to, but I've heard you can't beat it. Also looks great on resume.
Cons
Web Designer for a hospital, you have to go through many hoops of clinical garbage to get into the system. Orientation feels completely like it's meant for nurses, I might as well have gone asleep. In a department, in such a large organization, you tend not to know all of what makes your job go around. Many people are your bosses, I've got 1 direct boss, and 3 in-direct boss'. Wages aren't competitive for my field because it's a hospital. Though my first career move, i hear it's better working for a design firm or something of the sort. The staff I directly work with is most all old enough to be my mother. Out of 30 people in the department 3 are men. Parkings a pain, to live anywhere close you have to live in the ghetto. Otherwise you'll be driving an hour to 30min driving time depending on time of year.
