Pros

Great benefits, a very talented team of peers, competitive pay. That’s it, I can’t even make the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Chronically understaffed, even at full staffing (which is rare). Leadership micromanages while not comprehending the roles their technicians are in. They watch you on video monitors constantly. They are condescending and aggressively critical. One supervisor openly admitted to enjoying bullying and making people uncomfortable. Frequently unprofessional and inappropriate (e.g., verbally asking staff - in front of each other- to rate an employee on a scale of 1 to 10; pulling aside an LGBT staff member to say Mayo is forward thinking; joking about getting a paper bag when an employee was having a personal life crisis; trash talking other employees). There is no support beyond what the pharmacists and technicians can give each other.

Pros

Large organization that is recession-proof.

Cons

Leadership does not care about employees, especially tech employees. They are currently selectively laying off the highest paid tech employees just before they reach protected age status. Classic IBM moves from former IBM leadership. Culture has been destroyed. Upward mobility is nearly impossible. They have people on the same teams doing the same work at +- 40K salary via selective job title HR games. They have been practicing constructivve dishcharge on all of IT in an effort to reduce staff. Everyone is applying for their own jobs and they then send some packing and it's been many of the best employees. Other talented people are forced to leave for fear of not having a seat when the music stops. During COVID they said 'Work from anywhere' and hired like mad. Now, they say you are all going hybrid and will have to appear in-office. More efforts at reduction via attrition. The dishonesty is the worst part, all we get in meetings is an HR person with canned responses to protect the edge case legality of what they are doing.
