Pros

The opportunity to directly help patients in meaningful ways is wonderful and inspiring.

Cons

The culture in Information Services is toxic, driven primarily by the CIO, who is the type of leader who believes he always knows the best solution to any problem. Top-down dictates are common. Thoughtful, consistent decisions aligned with strategy are rare. Predictably, trust and team morale are low.

Pros

Mission-focused Some patients and employees are nice Good benefits

Cons

Crowded and Busy. In the cancer institute the lines for check-in went out the door and it seems like everyone forgets their manners in that place. Very little pay for dealing with so many angry patients
