Pros
A pay cheque and some benefits
Cons
- Wasn't acknowledged or valued -Underwhelmed by a complete lack of meaningful work -All the work I was assigned was "make work" projects that had no impact on the betterment of out health care system - Was never properly introduced to any of the senior management that I sit literally 30 feet from. -During the hiring process it was a huge ordeal to negotiate a reasonable wage. With 4 years of education they wanted to start me at $48K , which would be barely enough to pay for the basics in Calgary. (Especially considering the 50K I have to pay off in student debt) To put this into perspective people with 2 year tech degrees usually start between 65-75K. -The workplace culture is completely siloed and more awkward than a junior high dance.
