Pros

- There are plenty of interesting/smart people around the company (unfortunately they are not the ones in charge). - Compensation isn't bad for this part of Maine - Good amount of PTO - A lot of teams manage to have a good culture even if the overall leadership is toxic.

Cons

- Bad leaders (constantly changing strategies, constant restructuring, lack of understanding of data, lack of accountability) - Too many leaders. For a hospital of this size there are way to many VPs. They eat up and waste a large amount of the budget without contributing any real value. - IS infrastructure is very old - IS security team is inept and needlessly fearful of new technologies. - Very resistant to change even if it is long overdue.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Work when you want. Leadership listens!

Cons

Can get busy on weekends but staff is very cohesive so not necessarily a con.

Pros

There were no real pros

Cons

Trained for half a day in diagnostic imaging and witnessed multiple issues effecting patient safety and profit over quality. Was told directly that if there were to be audits serious infractions could result. I refuse to work in a place that abuses staff and actively demonstrates disrespect of an entire dept that generates so much profit and plays an important part in clinical decision making. Also relies on staff to generate detailed reports above and beyond what is rational and offered no discussion or plan for improvement. No wonder they are always dying for help there and the patient wait times are often 1 to 2 hours for routine outpatient imaging. Entire staff from hr down was overwhelmed and understaffed with little to no orientation for a large and busy facility. Drs were explained to be threatening and harassing of staff as well on very first shift of training and that you should just get used to it and show you "want to learn" and there would be less harassment. Laughable in my 14 years of experience ive never seen such disrespect.
