Pros

- decent PTO (lumped sick/vacation) of 15 days / 3 weeks from year 1 for outpatient network and either 7 or 9(?) holidays per year

Cons

- denied use of vacation days 80% of time I requested it - very poor management on every level, starting at the top - frequent changes of policies that are often opposite of former policies - management accused medical doctor of insubordination because s/he asked a very reasonable question in a staff meeting (no one else thought it was insubordinate) - squeeze every ounce of life out of highly trained medical professionals and coddle administrative staff that (not all, but some) literally did not do their basic job tasks - culture of quantity NOT quality - technologically backwards, not just behind.
