Pros

Benefits package is great; get a yearly bonus depending on your performance review and job rank; depending on the hospital you work in, there can be a great atmosphere; frequent communication in regards to how benefits are changing.

Cons

Not all jobs are secured; there is a huge wage disparity between cost of living and what certain positions make; certain hospital environments are toxic; more of a focus on politics and money than on the people lately; productivity expected of a single person is usually unrealistic, but the company refuses to hire more staff.

Pros

The team I was on was small but it had good people. My direct manager and her boss were great, but everyone above them were horribly disorganized and incompetent. More on that under cons. Pay was fine, slightly above the average. But raises were inconsistent. The ability to work from home was great. It was rare to be asked to work overtime, so work life balance was good.

Cons

Disorganized upper management who thought they knew better than the folks working in the weeds every day. There were multiple times that they would implement a change that my team would strongly recommend against, but it was shoehorned in anyway. Months later they would come back and say “that was actually a bad idea” and we would have to fix their mistakes, despite warning them against it in the beginning. How well you get trained also depends on your department. My team worked with other teams at Sentara that were often attempting to do things that could have put the company in legal jeopardy, but they were never told not to do it.
