Difficult IT environment

Pros

The opportunity to directly help patients in meaningful ways is wonderful and inspiring.

Cons

The culture in Information Services is toxic, driven primarily by the CIO, who is the type of leader who believes he always knows the best solution to any problem. Top-down dictates are common. Thoughtful, consistent decisions aligned with strategy are rare. Predictably, trust and team morale are low.

Pros

Lead tech does her best to keep her staff happy but even she is being worn down and not able to help with any employee issue.

Cons

Underpaid. Overworked. High turnover. Worthless management. Pharmacy director was working from home and lying about it, saying she was traveling between the two facilities daily. Supervisory staff will NOT step in when shifts need covered, techs are expected to pick up 100% of them, and if not, low man on the totem pole is assigned the shift. Company has no regard for anyone outside nursing. They stopped paying departments outside nursing for overtime so they could AFFORD to pay the nurses when they can’t do ANYTHING themselves. The whole place is crumbling, spare yourself the headache and look for employment elsewhere. If you’re not willing to be a yes man, you’ll get bullied out. If you’re a hard worker, they’ll coddle the lazy one. Do you like spending time with your family? Sucks. You’ll never go to another family event again. Want to promote? You won’t because you were never drinking buddies with the director. They make sure they have extra time off for the holidays yet when someone calls off they don’t step in as any other management team would be expected to. Worst. Job. I’ve. Ever. Had.
