Pros
HMH isn’t going anywhere. This is healthcare network that is growing both in size and innovation. There’s a lot of effort into making things better. For these reasons, you’ll have a stable career here. A couple other main highlights: - No micromanagement - my management team trusts everyone on the team. I genuinely feel supported anytime I have an issue and need to bring it to my manager. Metrics are tracked and we have targets, but I’ve never felt micromanaged. - Fully remote and flexible - I have full control over my daily schedule. We’re fully remote and there’s no discussion of going back to an office at this time. - Our work has impact - This is a huge healthcare network. You’re helping out your own local communities by keeping the hospitals staffed. It’s a great place to work for people who care more about doing meaningful work than chasing quarterly financial goals. - This is the first recruiting job where I haven’t had to work weekends or late into the night. There are some days I may click around a bit or answer a few extra emails, but I’ve never felt pressured to work unrealistic hours. I have real work life balance in my role. Another pro that I’ve noticed across the board is that so many leaders genuinely care for and advocate for their team members. Obviously not every manager is great, but I work with so many leaders who really want the best for their employees. I haven’t seen this level of motivation in other organizations.
Cons
I love my job, but there are a few things I would change. - We need new HR Tech. PeopleSoft is so outdated. Nobody in HR likes using it, nobody on the business side likes using it. I don’t understand why we haven’t upgraded to Workday yet. - There are so many SVPs and Chiefs across the organization. It’s very, very too heavy. I don’t know what all these people do, but I know they make very healthy salaries. The downside is that most other employees are paid low in the market because we just keep hiring SVPs and Chiefs. - Along with the size and being top heavy comes the biggest hurdle: we’re too slow to change. The ambition for innovation is there, but there are too many “important” people that need to sign off on things that so many things just don’t happen.
