Is it for Health + Hospitals? If so, run far away now! Actually, if it’s for any hospital I’d still say run. I’ve been working in hospital supply chain / procurement for four years and it’s the most antiquated and frustrating work I’ve ever dealt with. If it’s for a public hospital it’s even worse because there are a lot of rules about bringing in new products or technology. Also, even if you start out with a good base pay raises are likely to be inflation. No bonuses. Impossible to move up unless someone leaves.

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
