Pros

Good people providing healthcare for most vulnerable population. Work environment is humane and people care about their co-workers. Work-life balance is possible depending on your role. Execs and management are working to change legacy management short comings. Great benefits.

Cons

Pay is low , keep in mind this is a non-profit health system. Advancement can be tricky for some. Not always straight forward opportunities for promotion. Management is experiencing growing pains as old guard is now asked to step up and act like managers. Legacy managers often lack vision for change and are bogged down in "how its always been".

Pros

nothing much besides the pto plan

Cons

Terrible place to work. The sapphire team is horrible. the leadership team is not trained or skilled and they have no desire to engage the staff to encourage them to build out what they need. no one will take initiative and there is no hr support to try and fix issues but rather they side with the leadership team to mask the issues.
