Pros
The pay is (somewhat) competitive for the Triad area, as are the benefits. There are SOME good, trustworthy people that make great co-workers.
Cons
Diagnostic Imaging dept. is, unfortunately, a mess. Unless you're "friends" with upper management and/or chosen by them for whatever particular reason, I've seen people who've served reliably and faithfully for years shut out and shut down when going for a promotion or even attempting to make a lateral move from one Imaging modality to another, myself included. I was effectively blocked out of another modality, after I spent a year of hard work and sacrifice to get certified in that modality. They actually hired a classmate of mine, who had no previous healthcare background, over me who'd been there for years, problem free, good performance reviews, no disciplinary action, excellent attendance record, etc., because the manager of that dept. personally didn't like me. Same thing when I tried to make a shift change; supervisor played favorites with who he wanted on his shift & upper management let him. Problem is, Cone is SOOO large everybody knows somebody there & they control half the Triad so if you get labeled negatively in any way whatsoever, you're career is seriously impacted.
