Business Outlook

Pros

I am a huge Penn State fan! We have a very inclusive benefits package- that is customizable for your specific needs (various tiers, family options, eye, dental, etc) Great experience- teaching hospital, level 1 trauma, level 4 NICU Union and non-Union options for employment.

Cons

Very large- so it can be difficult to track down the correct person for specific requests/responsibilities. IT is very overworked, very slow to process requests/access/resolve tickets. Sometimes you feel like a number since it is such a large institution. The union is not as strong as it could/should be. Many programs do not correspond with the various hospitals making our health network not fully inclusive.
