Pros

Coworkers and staff that work around the facility are nice. Benefits are fine. The free lunches and the free parking are good too, but that's about it.

Cons

MICROMANAGEMENT! You get constantly bugged on how many cases you've closed in a certain amount of time and seem to be constantly watched. If you mess up on a task, instead of going through a coaching/training, you could get your "privileges of the task revoked" which holds up your and others' work. Supervisors love to single out and pick on some employees too. There's miscommunication on processes, which usually results in getting chewed out by super rude HRBPs. New employees/temps are herded into training like cattle and aren't familiar with things when they get out. Scheduling used to be OK until recently when everyone was told to put in time off requests 5 months in advance. Having to work holidays and weekends. No room for advancement if you're a minority. Also, there's always been talk of your applications being blocked as soon as you apply for an internal position...Really, you only have a chance at a promotion if you're a friend/favorite/serial buttkisser to the supervisors or director (and 9 times out of 10 some of those people aren't even qualified for promotions).

Pros

Ethical company, great benefits, great people

Cons

Working remotely is harder to interact with your direct reports as much as you would like, and is harder, but not impossible to develop the relationship that I want with each employee.

Pros

Work Schedule flexibility is a pro. Most directors do their best to give you the schedule you request (with in reason).

Cons

HCA is a for profit hospital (which is Capitalism at its best) but in recent years HCA has taken corporate greed to a whole new low. The corporation and management seems to careless of employee satisfaction or investing in employee development (outside of mandatory education). HCA uses time metrics which are un-realistic and threatens to punish those who fail to meet these times. There is no incentives to stay as an employee.
