Pros

The current managers are great. The staff and coworkers are why I stay. I've always wanted to work at Penn State and now I have my dream job.

Cons

We are severely understaffed. We can't seem to keep MA's or LPNs because the starting salary is so much lower than WellSpan and other places around us.

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
