Pros

Above-average industry wages Excellent health benefits Generous time-off

Cons

When you go to the new hire on-boarding you're told how great the organization is; tons of room for career growth they say. The reality is unless you've got an "in" with the hiring manager in the department you're looking to transfer into or you get exceptionally lucky your room for growth is extremely limited. I joined Legacy because I wanted to work in a healthcare environment and put my education and experience to good use. Even with nearly a decade of experience in my field & a graduate school degree I'm still working in a position that requires only a high school diploma. I've reached out to department managers who had open positions and have never once had a response back. When I try calling that goes no where either. I've heard the same story from MANY fellow employees that I've spoken with across multiple departments. It all comes down to who you know. It's unfortunate that the career growth potentials are so limited; I took a step down in pay because I believed in the image that the company portrayed and hoped to move up internally. I have an excellent manager, honestly the best manager I've ever had but I'm at the top of my payscale and can no longer progress in the organization. I'm already actively applying elsewhere but hope something pans out before I leave the organization entirely.

Pros

Not much to say anymore.

Cons

My first couple years here, I used to like this place but it's really going downhill fast. They are in the hole financially but instead of cutting pay for the millionaire executives (at a non-profit?!), they are now going to force people to use 2 weeks of leave at Christmas. And if someone doesn't have enough leave, they will be required to take unpaid. This is a "legal" loophole that should be illegal. They also don't believe in merit raises, instead giving a 2% across the board raise regardless of whether the person earns it. Some people work hard, while others barely work, and we all get the same 2% "raise"? This ship is sinking, so get out while you can and avoid at all costs.
