Pros

They never cut hours and we have gotten a raise annually in addition to an annual bonus every year since I started there (6 yrs ago). Plus a 75% tuition bonus for a Penn State education!

Cons

It's hard to promote within the company since there is so much competition nationally for top positions

Pros

Everyone is excited to work for Penn State. The overall morale of the employees as a whole is wonderful and I truly feel motivated that I get to work for PSU in this capacity. The benefits are wonderful: health insurance is great, dental and eye coverage is great, PTO is amazing, and other benefits are lovely. For the most part, most employees are pleasant and interested in their work and at the heart of their job have patient care and satisfaction in mind.

Cons

Opportunity to advance is limited because of the inside politics - it's a game of who-knows-who. This is detrimental to those who enter on a base level because of experience but then are looking to advance because of education or interest in another department. There should be a bigger drive to promote from within based on merit and education, not just connections and politics. Pay, based on your position, isn't always equal to your position. There are several positions that are underpaid but overworked. This is also dependent on department.
