Pros
Industry is hot right now because of healthcare reform, and Epic is a major player, but it's only because as buggy as Epic's software is, its competitors' are even worse.
Cons
Training does not prepare you for your job and you will be at a disadvantage if you're not a computer science major or didn't fiddle around with computers in your free time. A lot of bug fixes had to be done on a tight timeline (read: frequent overtime) since they interfered with patient safety or billing or whatnot, which definitely adds to the pressure.
