Radiology - MRI Technologist Capital Health Employee Review

Good benefits okay pay good hours

could offer better pay and has bad cafeteria food

Work Experience (and lots of it since you will be wearing 3-4 IT hats)

Just about everything else. The IT department is ran by leadership that acts as puppets for the CIO who was to "AI everything" (almost the entire Help Desk was laid off which used to be a 10+ person team, what a great economical time to be laying people off) and has no spine against him. No matter your job title, you will work as if you have multiple job titles. Decisions will be made in silos by people who have no business being in IT to begin with, no one follows change control, and you will have no choice but to "figure it out" when those poor decisions ultimately show face and before you know it, you're on a troubleshooting call on Christmas Eve arguing (at times literally yelling) with other engineers because of a mistake THEY made. Because healthcare is 24/7, so is the IT work and everything is an emergency. And when you demonstrate your work to a superior degree with zero direction, you'll be gaslit and told you "don't have enough experience" for better roles, and you get to watch others (friends of friends) get hired into net-new director roles or other higher paid roles. This of course changed when I showed an offer letter than I was leaving, and magically I was given the opportunity to apply to a role that 1. I was told I didn't have enough experience for 1 month prior and 2. I was also told that role was on hold (funny how quickly that changes when you show proof that you're leaving). Ageism here works in the exact opposite way: If you are young, you will be taken advantage of, and everyone will assume you don't know what you're talking about simply because you are young and have less years of experience. The pay was below average given the area; a median house around Lawrenceville costs $600k plus, I was at $118k when I left, which is pitiful given the role and expectations + COL for the area. You are not buying anything at $118k annually when the houses start at $600k. They don't care what degrees you have; I've straight up been told my masters in Cybersecurity means nothing, but a person with an entry level certification was made a manager over me? Why? Because him and the director were friends and he was older than me, that's why. Finally, 1 particular director was so downright nasty with everyone who were not friends with her. So nasty that apparently, she "left" around 2015 because of drama she was starting that caused an employee to sue her. She then came back around 2021 (into a "Senior Director" role which never even existed before her, but because of the cliques she made this was possible for her) to pick up where she left off, and just recently left again this year for similar reasons. The company will let anyone work in the IT department as long as you just tell HR "they're qualified" and if your job title is fancy enough. There were more cliques and drama at this place than I experienced in middle school and high school COMBINED. I could keep going on and on, and if I am provoked, I can elaborate on how their ransomware event back in November 2023 was completely preventable if I were to be listened to (I still have documentation for that because this place had zero off-boarding procedures; not my fault) and was caused by a mistake that even a 12-year-old wouldn't make. If you are looking for IT experience, please, please look elsewhere.
