CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, great co-workers, nice setting

Cons

Employee health insurance options are rediculously expensive for anyone who needs to add family members. For a major hospital, it's insulting how much they expect their employees to pay. A lot of many seems to be going I to the Modernization Project with less being spent on employee retention and satisfaction.
