Pros

Love my co workers. Close to my home. Doctors know what they are doing. I sit by a window. My work is easy.

Cons

Micromanagement. Low morale. Not concerned about team building. No room for growth. Favoritism. Doctors pay is production based which can be lead to unethical decision-making. Benefits are amongst the worst compared to other large healthcare systems in the area. So cheap that they won't supply staff with plastic cutlery or coffee. Changed maternity benefits so that you have to take 4hours of PTO for any doctor appointments even if your appointment only takes 1 hour. No paid holidays.

Pros

Amazing co workers, very caring people. Challenging work environment. Freedom to take on projects and pursue your career goals. Not many layoffs or reductions. Good work life balance.

Cons

Disorganized. Management is very matrixed. Changes seem like they are made without explanation, and you never see the benefit of them. Mission, vision, and strategic goals always changing with no uniformity in sight.

Disorganized and silo'd...even if you make changes, someone who's been there longer changes it back!

Pros

Many sites to work in, many different operations to try to learn from.

Cons

Corporate rules overall, even if they are behind the times. Very negative atmosphere, you always have to watch your back and make sure your proof is documented. Departments do not match each other, especially at budget times, and the loudest one wins.
