Pros
Overall benefits and pay. Great healthcare system. Doctors and nurses are very warm and welcoming. Almost impossible to get fired. This can be a pro and a con. Besides IT most of the employees care about what they are doing. Hope we can turn it around.
Cons
Leadership in IT is horrible. Just got a new CIO so I have to opinion on him yet. But most of the leadership are former nurses with no actual IT or management experience. There are 2 different IT groups at Sharp. First group are the employees at Site 1. Most managers are former clinical staff or nurses that have no business being in IT. Most the analysts over there have no right working in IT. They have no technical abilities. I previously worked in England and worked with a more competent workforce. Second group are the employees at Site 2. I work in this group. While most of us have greater technical ability the management tends to promote friends instead of who is competent. For example in one of the desktop groups most of the leadership are former friends. My husband wants me to quit but I want to stick it out because it feels good to help patients.
