Flexible work schedule is the only real perk. The management is full of nice people but nice people dont always make the best managers.
Cons
Pay, working environment, lack of respect for IT employees, there is zero room for growth or vertical movement for any IT pros.

Thank you for providing your perspective. Shepherd Center has experienced significant growth and with that comes a need to increase our focus on the IT infrastructure. To that end, we are upgrading the IT function and are hiring a Chief Information Officer. Our CIO will provide a focus and new perspectives for how we manage our IT resources in the future. We hope it will be an exciting change for our IT professionals.
Tight knit group of healthcare professionals that work together to provide the best care for patients. They cared very much and always worked hard (& paid extra money) to ensure the whole hospital is well staffed.
Cons
For me, it’s a long drive. Besides that, I had no complaints.
Terrible PDO policy (have to use PDO for holidays/sick leave/vacation)- salaried employees should not be forced to use their PDO for holidays when their department is closed (e.g. Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)!!!
Poor leadership in certain departments due to zero knowledge of the area they oversee.
Serious lack of diversity in senior level management positions and hospital board.
HR says they have an open door, but do nothing to help you.
Qualified workers are often passed over for positions they deserve for people a manager likes.
IT department has a toxic work culture (male managers and directors often making rude comments about women, dismissive to female co-workers yet continue to get promoted and supported by HR & CEO)
