Pros
Honestly, this used to be a wonderful health system to be apart of and I was proud to say I worked here. Many years later, I no longer feel this way. So much has changed and not in a good way either.
Cons
Leadership is extremely out of touch with job roles and responsibilities. They base 100% of their decision making on unrealistic metrics. If a vacant position needs to be filled, then your department has to be working at 100% at all times, if not, the vacant position won’t get approved to be filled.
If you’re not a doctor or a nurse, then you’re not valued. The newest CEO only took time to recognize nurses during nurses week, shared a Cone Health billboard thanking nurses system wide, and so on. The week prior to nurses week, was lab week. We didn’t get any kind of recognition or thanks, not from him or anyone else from the senior leadership. All we got was a coloring sheet taped to the wall in the break room that we had to color ourselves.
Currently, it’s a means to an end, but if given the opportunity to work anywhere else, I would.
