Pros

tuiton assistance and making contacts. Get certifications and move on

Cons

No career opportunities unless your a crony with security mgmt. They dnt promote based on qualifications. Limited diversity for leadership positions. Cronyism is real in tht dept. To many false alarms n door unlocks. Not security work that you would think you should perform. Officers r gossippers like babys. Low moral low pay

Thank you for sharing your positive 5-star review and for the kind words about your colleagues. We're glad that comes through. As an academic health system, research is central to who we are. The work you and our research teams do every day touches patients and communities across the region and beyond. Thank you for being part of Penn State Health.

Pros

Mission-focused Some patients and employees are nice Good benefits

Cons

Crowded and Busy. In the cancer institute the lines for check-in went out the door and it seems like everyone forgets their manners in that place. Very little pay for dealing with so many angry patients
