Pros

Great name, works hard to improve their image and facilities, has many long-term people who stay there for entire careers, lots of training and development, great job opportunities once you are inside to change areas.

Cons

It's Cleveland (what else can I say), although there are plenty of really nice areas in Ohio to live and do a little commute. As a very large health system, it has a heavy political element. And you can drink the Kool-aid and be a "team" player, or be part of the majority of people who are happy to have a job in the area. Lots of cross-town rivalry between Case Western and University Hospitals, but it also provides another opportunity to change jobs if you don't like one (join the other).

Pros

The Clinic maintains a good reputation.

Cons

The Clinic is a very large organization. It emphasizes its health care achievements but does not strongly support research.

Pros

Upper management vision is strong and hopeful. However, management in the mid lines is confused, underqualified (promoted because of tenure within organization and NOT from experience within that line of expertise). It will be years before it trickles down and becomes a consistently strong and fair place to work.

Cons

Very insestuous atmosphere. HR job descriptions all look the same so one never knows what the job entails and recruiters are too immature in their roles to know. They are more HR than anything else. Managers often were part of unrelated departments and given hefty promotions that do NOT MEET MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS as a job description is written. This is unfair as an outside person is not given the same consideration. Although a large HR department, many or most managers don't know simple policies such as PTO or how to onboard a new hire.
