Pros
The health benefits are excellent and heavily discounted. They own some of the largest hospitals in the area so there is opportunity to move around if you are hospital-based.
Cons
This place looks really good on paper--9 hospitals, diversified businesses, and knows how to stay in the black. However, peel back the covers and you will find that the primary concern of all senior management is getting their bonus. For a non-profit, I have never heard so much focus on revenue by senior management! We all are aware that cash is needed in order to fund the mission, but somewhere along the line money became the unwritten mission here. There are bi-annual surveys of employees, but what the employees say and the resulting "solutions" do not correlate. If senior management is criticized, they brush it off as employees not understanding them or their jobs. I could deal with the problems if it didn't seem as if there are constant contradictory messages, and practices, depending on who you are. For example, we are given measly raises (the last one was 1.25%) and told to be happy because we have a job. However, published reports state that the CEO makes $3 million per year just in SALARY. This does not include other perks and benefits that exceed $1 million. Also, doctors are kings here so they are used to having temper tantrums if anyone tells them they are wrong (especially if they are high revenue generators). Also, the party line from senior management is that there is no money for needed additional personnel or software. However, there is money for consultants and outsourcing of essential jobs. Stay away unless you really like to be under-resourced then scape-goated if everything falls apart.
