Pros
Very supportive, kind and caring individuals and staff. Big egos simply do not exist or have a place here. Throwing your weight around and being overly bossy is looked down upon. The hospital solely and truly exists for achieving quality patient care and delivering the best possible outcome with not only the patient's best interest in mind, but the family as well. An environment that truly fosters individual excellence, innovation, and research.
Cons
Management recognizes potential and effort and rewards success with praise, but needs to work better with HR on providing these opportunities so that talented individuals are retained in the institution. Needs to play catch-up with some of the bigger medical centers (penn, upmc, hopkins, etc.) but is slowly getting there in terms of the new health care reform, but the culture of Central PA hampers this.
