Pros

You get the MGH badge of BS "Benefits"

Cons

Working in the IT department you have a lot of "IT" personalities. Which means they have little to no personalities whatsoever. These people couldn't hold a conversation for longer than 20 seconds and it usually was based around "What are you having for lunch." Pay is terrible. You can go anywhere else and make anywhere from $10-20k more than you do at MGH. You get a mere 2% raise a year. Bonuses don't exist.

Pros

Job security and everyone on my team is great

Cons

MGH is very big and sometimes that makes it hard to find the right person to ask for help/support. A lot of systems are automated so when I’ve had to call HR or occupational health, I’ve had to go through multiple phone menus/transfers to talk to someone and hope it was the right person.
