Pros
A team spirit runs throughout the entire system and everyone feels like they are a part of a family and working toward a common cause, which is the well being of our patients. Even though the Carle system is located in rural Illinois, they are able to recruit world class talent.
Cons
Two words, seven letters: time off. The organization is still stuck in the 20th century in terms of holidays, and flex days (or lack thereof). We only get basic holidays off, New Years, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even when a holiday falls on a Thursday we are expected to be at our job the next day on Friday. Last year the organization introduced one personal day per year, which HR thought was revolutionary. The health benefits are fine, even generous given the low deductible.
