Pros

Mostly wonderful clinical staff, opportunity to provide community-based care.

Cons

The CEO has an explosive temper, and he runs the hospital the way Trump runs the government. You are either with him or against him, and those who offer alternative views or feedback are not long for the organization. He allows physicians to bully the staff without consequences. Reported incidents of bullying by physicians have been ignored by HR and administration resulting in loss of many excellent staff members at all levels. Members of the administration who might not agree with this culture or these decisions are afraid to speak up for fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

It's small enough to really get to know your coworkers which in turn enhances team work and moral. Employees like each other, and enjoy working together, Many have been there for 10+ years. It's the closest to "we're like a big family" being legit than any local hospital system in Western MA. The senior leadership is genuinely invested in supporting the staff, the organization, the community, and the patients. It's refreshing to have a senior leadership team that is approachable and responsive.

Cons

It's a small community hospital so funds are not as exuberant as some of the other health systems in MA and CT, but it's leadership is resourceful and transparent with how funds are utilized.
