work life balance, nice co-workers

none was a great place

Competitive benefits and job security. Some frontline staff are committed and attempt to do good work despite systemic barriers.

Clinical governance is fundamentally broken. The organization is not physician-led, yet physicians retain full clinical and legal responsibility for patient outcomes while lacking ultimate authority over care decisions. Medical judgment is routinely subordinated to administrative processes that are not grounded in medical training or accountability. Leadership roles are consistently occupied by individuals without adequate preparation in healthcare management or clinical governance. As a result, decisions affecting patient care, staffing, and risk management are often made without an understanding of clinical consequences. Highly trained physicians with relevant expertise are marginalized, while non-clinical priorities dominate. The environment rewards compliance over competence and tolerates mediocrity so long as coverage needs are met. This predictably drives away physicians accustomed to functional, physician-led systems, who tend not to remain long once the structural reality becomes clear. The resulting turnover appears chronic and self-perpetuating rather than transitional.
