"The Select Medical Way" is NOT the way to go.
Pros
Not sure if this is a pro, but if you stay with the company long enough as an Analyst and threaten to leave, you will most likely get promoted to a management position.
Cons
Low pay Micromanaged constantly Expected to complete tasks that have nothing to do with your job title, just because the responsible department doesn't feel like doing their own job. Most IS positions are expected to be an extension of the helpdesk. Not allowed to work from home. After hours on call can be a nightmare. Other department managers try and delegate projects and tasks to those outside of their department. Project specifications aren't discussed prior to adding said project to your "project list" Company keeps hiring managers, but doesn't fix the problems with the current ones. Company continually expands, but does not expand their IS Staff that is expected to support the hospital staff. it is a rare occurrence that a project is well thought out. HMS/Medhost is a horrible application that we are expected to support.
