Pros

Good salary for a small town location. Great benefits; lots of opportunity.

Cons

Even though the corporate line is life/work balance, the office culture encourages overtime hours for salaried workers to get the job done - understaffed and overworked, which is good for the corporate bottom $$$, but not staff life/work.

Pros

It's an organization that generally helps the public.

Cons

This organization needs someone like the cookie monster, Dr. Duckett or like Duncan Campbell back, that they got rid of because they actually knew what they were doing with running a company. AHS needs someone with some business and financial sense to run this organization and the rural areas - not a doctor that just has crap put in her ear and goes with that. No doubt Verna Yu is intelligent, but the organization needs business experience. Very toxic environment in IT health exchange department. Inexperienced leadership, but even worse incompetent and don't care. Just a spin doctor. ED and Director's are bullies, because of the ED, but they made that decision to be like that. Lack of direction - just orders. If you speak up and show facts that go against what leadership wants to hear, you will be targeted and your life made miserable at every turn until you quit, because of their incompetence and own insecurities... you may show them up by doing your job correctly. No pay increase for 8 years for non-union. Used to have good benefits and the premiums kept going up, and you'll get a surprise when a claim is submitted and rejected or moved from medical spending account to personal spending... with ZERO notification from HR that this was happening. Still spend just because they have the budget. Just bad, bad for a tax payer that sees their bills and taxes go up, benefits reduces, after no raise for years... and waste, such waste. Treat you like a farm animal at CN tower, shovel staff cube to cube, it's a call centre, not a business office. Just such a disappointment. It is 100% because of poor leadership. AHS can do SOOOO MUCH BETTER. I'd be willing to help clean it up, but my opinion might offend a few. :-)
