Pros

Fast-paced environment. Was able to help treat patients in some really bad circumstances. Refine my skills in regards to working well under pressure. Performed a lot of the sales functions, as the reps were not always present for cases. Was active in both the scrub and circulation roles. Refined my prioritization and critical thinking skills. Participated in Practice and Education Councils.

Cons

Promoting within the hospital was not done; therefore, hard, dedicated work was not rewarded.

Business Outlook

Pros

Job security, benefits and general salary is good. The location is rural and safe and close to many interesting cities and outdoor activities. The relationship to Penn State is a real plus and opens up a lot of personal opportunities. Staff really cares for the patients and their families. It's authentic.

Cons

Very political. Getting things through key decision makers can be challenging. Items are often slowed in committees and the overall feel is very institutional. Many legacy employees struggle to let go of things of the past and this creates an uninviting culture from colleagues.

Pros

There aren't any pros.

Cons

After 4 years of working more than 40 hours a week, I am still a "temporary" employee. I have no job protection, health benefits are expensive and no vacation or sick days. Morale in our department is very low due to poor management. I cannot even believe most of the stuff I've seen go on here.
