Pros

Overall vision, executive leadership (with a few recent past exceptions), stability plus growth over the years, commitment to clinical excellence, plus expansion of educational endeavors and clinical training. CRMH possesses a proud tradition of excellence in medical and nursing care overall, with pockets of consistent and outstanding clinical care.

Cons

A sprawling middle to upper-middle management system with considerable redundancy. A middle management culture of bullying, harassment, blame and favoritism accepted and tolerated. Confidentiality a foreign and entirely misunderstood concept on the part of much of management and HR. Administration can at times value buzz words and concepts (such as an integrated EMR ~ Epic) above good old-fashioned vigilant care. Performance goals for management focused on production and through-put, and sometimes at odds with improvement in outcomes.

Cons

Are you searching for a job that truly redefines your expectations — in all the worst ways? Step right up. Do you enjoy being encouraged into prayer at gatherings? Craving a workplace that preaches caring about employees while doing the exact opposite? You’re in luck. Looking for a company that refuses to hire enough staff, then wonders why everything is falling apart? Perfect match. Love the idea of all your holidays, sick days, and PTO being mashed into one tiny 7‑hour‑every‑two‑weeks accrual? A true masterpiece of “efficiency.” Want to meet every requirement management throws at you… only to receive no raise whatsoever? Inspirational. Dream of dedicating five years of your life just to earn a microscopic pension? A real fairy tale. Training? Don’t be silly. Inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees? Only if “inclusion” means pretending the topic doesn’t exist. Improvement? Why improve when ignoring problems is free — and money is more important anyway. Enjoy paying more and more every year for health insurance that somehow keeps getting worse? A rare skill, really. And don’t forget the cherry on top: internal company “reviews” that claim to be anonymous… but absolutely are not. Nothing says “we value feedback” like making sure no one feels safe giving any. If you love hearing that multiple employees are unhappy, seeing bad reviews pile up, and being underpaid for the mountain of nonsense you deal with daily, congratulations! You’ve found your forever home.
