Pros

My team is great - leadership cares about their employees. There are lots of ways to continue your education and I love the medical missions done in the community. No place is perfect, but I've worked for other large healthcare systems in the Indy area and this has been the best one! They have internal employees in place if you want to move into a different role/department.

Cons

The charting system is not the best. Most patients and staff are used to EPIC, so moving to that system would be a patient satisfier since it's easy to use and they've probably used it elsewhere, and it would bring new clinical staff up to speed more efficiently. Hopefully one day we will switch.
