Pros
You will learn a lot. They are a number one hospital for a reason. They are always pushing to reach its audiences in the newest and most innovative ways possible. While goals are of course to drive business, this is a hospital that also cares deeply about its patients, and does well to understand them. And they work hard to make sure that message comes through in all of its messaging. And the physicians that work here are incredible. Some of the smartest, most ambitious individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Cons
Work-life balance is poor. The Marketing department goes above and beyond. Not your normal 8-5. To succeed, you need to be able to work long hours, sometimes weekends, and are expected to be in the office or at main campus. There’s really no working from home or flexibility. It can be hard when you’re starting a family and may need a more flexible position. Also, the Clinic notoriously underpays, at least in the marketing department. However, the benefits really make up for it. You’ll never find a better healthcare plan, and I think it’s one of the last places to still offer a pension plan in addition to a matched 401k.
