Business Outlook

Pros

- The overall mission of helping people in need - IT employees able to work remotely with shifted hours (lookup ROWE) - Could take off 1 day per week if your job was done and not claim it (ROWE) - Amount of vacation is above average - Not much micro-management and you are free to find solutions for problems - Large IT shop with lots of large & scaled out technologies providing good experience

Cons

- Very poor IT Management communication - Very poor IT Management planning/direction/leadership - Immature business processes - Slow to make decisions, usually requires consensus and many meetings to move forward - Very little recognition - Expect 3.5% increase in pay yearly. No more, No less and pretty much everyone gets that. - If you were new coming into Fairview, you would have a hard time meeting people because a lot of them are working remote and there aren't many opportunities to meet people - New employee training is non-existent. - Policies are hard to locate and understand, different from site to site, and often unenforced. - Organic growth into leadership positions has led to people at the top which lack senior management qualities of leadership & direction. They haven't worked anywhere else in the last 20 years to give them perspective.
