Pros
Before i started working there i thought that the employees were over all nice and competent at their positions. The Florida weather can be an attraction. The hospital system seems to have the support of some high profile personalities. Long term employment, because you have to practically kill someone before they fire you.
Cons
The pay is low compared to the standard of living in Orlando. Not paying a state tax is no compensation. Management seems to be more impressed with how an employee will fit in with the "team" rather than their qualifications. Nepotism and favoritism run rampant creating a glass ceiling that is almost impossible to break through, unless you can really suck up and someone doesn't stab you in the back. There are many long term employees, which i had thought was a plus for this employer, but this seems to be due to not wanting to fire people, discipline people, or manage the career's of your staff. Long timer's have created big issues by filling positions they are woefully inadequate to fill but are unwilling to give up and spend more time "protecting" their position than actually doing the J.O.B. The long timers that i have had to work with have been difficult and unwilling to embrace change. Even when there is no complaints to address in a project there will always be a long drawn out "story" about how someone feels about the project or about how they feel about something totally unrelated. Hey, if you don't have someone at home to talk to why punish me, get a therapist. This employer talks out of both sides of her mouth. They parrot out phrases like "we treat you like family", but will spend 10's of millions on technology, software (that is never used to benefit the employer), and equipment ( i have seen piles of laptop barley used) and pay a sub standard wage claiming that money is not what will keep employees on the job. There is more "man bashing" on this job then i care to hear in a professional situation. Sorry about all the complaining but what can i say I like men and i like money. The physical working environment is terrible and the staff is constantly being moved. it's almost like playing musical cubes. The building smells and leaks, the air quality is poor and the bathroom smells like an outhouse on a good day. Last but not least, John Hillenmyer is leaving the corporation and his predecessor had been recently quoted that she is focused on acquiring a prestigious IT award and anyone that is not with her can move on. How's that for family, but i bet she won't fire anyone.
