Business outlook
Pros
HCA (the corporate office) has a strong and established corporate structure with ample room for advancement. Schedules are flexible, benefit packages (to the best of my knowledge) are all-encompassing, and you can spend your entire career working from the bottom of the ladder to the top if that's what you choose.
Cons
Pervaded by inefficiency and a feeling of bureaucracy. Many of the management positions go to those with only technical knowledge. There's very little communication between branches (ie. IT and HR) and thus similar functions are often performed multiple times.
