Some days are stressful more then others. not the best pay. management is eh. work environment vibes aren't good. negative. If they don't like you they will eat you alive.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
subpar pay. bad vibes.
Easy and Relaxed Job
Coffee Shop Attendant (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – February 15, 2019
I learned what it means to produce quality customer service while often (and spontaneously) performing behind the scenes with next-day meal prep, counting money at the end of each shift and more. Management was very easy to work with and compromised with schedules. The atmosphere was light as was used as a way to showcase how to interact with customers that may be in situations much less than ours. The hardest part of the job was lifting heavy boxes filled with drinks and food. The most enjoyable part was the people who were employed beside me.

SYSTEMS ENGINEER II (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA 01061 – February 7, 2019
Indeed should inquire with Cooley Dickinson; I did not sign up to provide detailed information concerning my previous employer nor do I feel this is an ethical request.
I will only state that I enjoyed working at Cooley Dickinson.

RIS/PACS Administrator (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – November 2, 2018
I can in to start a project to install a new RIS and PACS system. Worked with IT and the line supervisors in Radiology to build, test, and install the systems. Over the years it was a constant retest and install upgrades, training new people (techs, radiologist and doctors), adding new modalities, troubleshooting, and learning HL7, DICOM, and billing codes.
Pros
I was basically free to do what I needed to do.
Cons
Not having trained support staff and constantly training new people was a chore.
Productive and Fast paces
Patient Access Coordinator/Emergency Room (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – September 18, 2018
Great hospital to work for. Even when management changed. Communication was open and always respectful. I was per diem and my schedule was worked with my full time employment and full time schooling. It’s fast paced and definitely a place if employment for learning.

Telecommuter Medical Transcriptionist (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – July 14, 2018
Worked at home, flexibility of hours as long as working required amount of hours a week. Everyday you learned something new in the medical field, such as new diagnoses, new medications, etc.
People in the workplace were very nice and had positive attitudes.
The hardest part of the job was when new foreign dictators were employed and I had to learn their dialects. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning all of these new things in the transcription medical field.

Cooley Dickinson Hospital Laboratory
MLT Clinical Practicum (Intern) (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – July 5, 2018
Cooley Dickinson Hospital Laboratory is a wonderful working environment. The departments operate separately on a daily basis but still communicate and gather together for meetings regularly. Each department has its own feel and style, but overall the culture of the entire lab is positive and accepting.
Summary
Phlebotomist (Former Employee) – Northampton, MA – July 2, 2018
A day at Cooley Dickinson was, as expected, busy. My team was responsible for walk-in patients as well as drawing blood in all departments when needed. This included the ER, birthing center, surgery, oncology, and endoscopy. It was a challenging and fulfilling job and I liked working there. Only reason I left was not enough hours.
Learned a lot about cultural diversity and working with more children than in previous jobs.
Management was responsive and interested in our ideas to improve customer service.
Our team was very supportive of one another.
Hardest thing was uncooperative patients. Didn't happen often, but was not the best part of the job.
Enjoyed the "team spirit"

Pros

to many to stay
