Pros

Couldn't find much to compliment whilst there since praise is rare. Look around and you will observe that most if not all of senior management are Irish. Recruitment of ethnic minorities are solely for meeting quotas.

Cons

Very cliquey organization since most of senior management either grew up together, went to school together, live in the same community or children go to school together. As a result, it is impossible for management to be objective and fair. The environment is toxic to anyone who opposes the status quo. Only the fat cats get a pension - hence the reason they don't like to retire.

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.
