    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    It's a job. They are seeking more technologist.

    Cons

    It's a militant toxic environment. It is not encouraged to speak up or even request simple things that are needed. The hospital and outpatient techs. are treated totally different. The outpatient techs are overwhelmed with back to back patients with no grace period. It is a tech per room, when it is supposed to be a tech and a half to avoid workplace injury and burn out. There is no advocate for the out patient techs. and the supervisor is extremely hard to deal with.

    Pros

    Great colleagues and strong mission

    Cons

    HR doesn't appreciate the administrative staff at GW. They have blanket policies that don't have flexibility. And while some of the benefits are good, they are rigid on other benefits that with some openness around things like vacation carry-over could show administrative staff how much more we are appreciated.
