Pros

charitable mission of the organization has always been good thing, dedication to the poor and less privileged, big complex organization

Cons

this merger between two big hospital organizations has been a real mess. Layoffs and scrambling and really not well thought out at many levels. We have watched the "strategy" and "integration" brass pad their salaries and benefits in this deal and cut convenient high salaries for themselves when the rest of the organization seems to be suffering throughout all of the region. Poor communication and lots of folks worried about their jobs but visible smugness at the top of the organization chart.

Supportive coworkers and management, and opportunity for growth.

It can be difficult to get used to the way they do things, but there is usually support if you ask.
