Pros
I make decent money. But I lose it in my benefit "package". Between health insurance, dental insurance, vision, etc, well over $1000 a month.
Cons
Anyone that has ever worked for a factory or public entity will understand how horrendous our health insurance is. For a medical company, it's pathetic. I pay well over $500 a month, have a $3000 deductible and pay a great deal out of pocket for just about everything. So basically, as a generally healthy person, I pay roughly $6000 a year with an over $3000 deductable. In other words, since I literally never spend $9000 a year on health issues, I am spending a ridiculous amount for something I never use. There are no "freebies" at all for employees in regards to illness. Only prevention. For instance, I worked at Mansfield prior to the Ohiohealth takeover and if you visited the ER and had to be admitted, your admission was covered 100%. I get that healthcare is changing, but our insurance is pathetic compared to non health care entities. Talk to any employee of a major factory or a public city/state job and you will understand the difference. Ohiohealth really should be embarrassed by their health insurance package. I'm not clear why employees think the leave package and vacation time is "amazing". Earning 1 day a month as a full time employee is hardly "amazing" or nearly comparable to many other companies.
