Vantaggi
Company Benefits are good. Work-Life balance is a priority in most departments. Starting salaries are good. Variable compensation is adequate. Vacation policies are above industry norm. The 403(b) plan is great.
Svantaggi
Internal opportunities are minimal. Outside hiring is preferred due to perception that new talent has all the answers-they do not. In most cases, EMT leadership is excellent. Unfortunately, it does not translate down to effective senior leadership and/or senior management within departments whose most effective strategy is to create conflict in order to succeed in their own personal agendas. Annual raises are non-existent in most departments but management represents that variable comp will attempt to cover any shortfalls--it does not.
