Pros

I have an amazing manager and my coworkers are the best I’ve worked with ever. They are the reason I stick around and make my work life balance achievable.

Cons

This company is failing, do not work here. They are MILLIONS of dollars in debt! The pay is low unless you are a Senior level in your position or a pharmacist. No cost of living pay increases for the last 3 years. There’s no room for growth because they’re firing people and there’s no direction right now. In the past if you want a promotion you have to be onsite in Deerfield. They only give small bonuses if you did amazing for the year and they can withhold them if they want to. Not worth it to me. This company is always in a reorganization, they waste so much time and money on just rebranding!!! No wonder we don’t get raises. I’m in constant fear they will do layoffs and I will get caught up in the sweep. I love my job but the constant stress of getting laid off is no way to live and gives me no incentive to work harder for this company.

Pros

Good entry level position for an aspiring IT technician who wants to learn the ropes of how the enterprise IT worlds works. You'll work with a lot of different software applications and many different hardware setups including RF technology. There's also a lot of room to specialize and take on projects that interest you so long as it improves the workplace. Upper management is attentive and supportive. Compensation is fair for an entry level IT role and the 4x10 schedule can be nice if it's for you.

Cons

This is actually a hybrid IT-maintenance position and you're likely going to perform far more maintenance work than IT work depending on the facility you work at. Due to the size of the program, there are many less IT specialists to lean on for support and training/documentation can be sparse. There is a high workload oftentimes and one lengthy troubleshooting session can result in a cascade effect and due to the size of the program, support can be hard to come by. Due to the small team sizes, callouts/uncovered PTO can be absolutely brutal.
