Pros

Free coffee and some snacks in the breakroom Dental insurance Option to participate in a medical savings plan Stunning views of Kansas landscape

Cons

Pretty much everything is awful. Management is completely and totally inept, especially at an executive level. They are coasting on the former success, and accounts, of the old guard they constantly put down at any chance they get. Since they have shown up they have only managed to spend money, create vaporware or over priced garbageware, and hire gaggles of college students to give off the aura of "growth". If you have a problem, or a critical thought, no matter how right or based in logic it may be, you can't voice it or you will be labeled as a "trouble maker". The fear that permeates every meeting, sideshow "Town Hall", or other interaction with upper management is disgusting. If you don't tow the company line, you'll never get promoted or see any sense of a raise. Raises are few and far between anyway because money is only an issue when it comes to giving it to the rank and file. Wasting it on beer kegs, trips to the Caribbean, cheesy sentimental "we care" websites, and on bloated marketing efforts is totally fine however. Basically you better be a yes man or woman or find yourself another job. Which is exactly what most people with any talent are and have been doing. The only ones who stay are those kids who don't realize they are working in a nightmare of a company because they have no basis for comparison.

Pros

Really great company culture from middle management downward. Upper management can have pros and cons, but still like working here.

Cons

Pay isn't exactly the most competitive

Pros

The team I work with is dedicated and loyal to the company and takes an ownership mentality.

Cons

If you care, you’ll give up your nights, your weekends, your blood, sweat, tears, joy, you’ll miss family events, even health appointments, your house will fall apart, your relationships will suffer, and you might even get asked to shorten your time away. There is nobody in the positions of the right help, and far too many managers, and too many per diem who have other jobs that can’t give enough hours but hold per diem positions hostage. When you ask for help, it’s always answered with a “We are trying”. Yet it’s been years of asking and the ask still falls on deaf ears. The company is missing opportunities to grow a huge revenue stream because they won’t create structure and processes; and positions to manage those structures. There are so many missed opportunities here, in a field that really needs us. I don’t know how to make my voice louder. It’s just not heard. We are top heavy in management. We need certain tasks completed, and are not getting what we need, no matter how many meetings we have about it. In fact, I don’t have time for the meetings anymore. We didn’t even celebrate Nurse’s Week. Not a single person even mentioned it. They work you to within an ounce left of your sanity, and then there’s absolutely no recognition or cohesiveness or celebration of any achievmemts instead, it’s “We didn’t make our quota.”. It’s all hurry up and get your work done, but then slow down because you’re making mistakes. Pay is mediocre for this level of experience and expertise-non-management level positions elsewhere offer far more in salary. Plus all the money you’ll spend to try to get things done just to manage your life, like paying for grocery delivery because you’ll never see the inside of a grocery store again. It’s madness. Not a sustainable career.
