Pros

Health benefits and Beautiful new Cancer Center

Cons

The management team at the Clinical Cancer Research center is ridiculous. Very disorganized management team with no fear vision of a management plan. Always implement new ideas that never fall through. Very biased management team that have favorites and provide little to no training to new research employees. You are basically set up for failure before you start. Training is so bad and they are quick to blame you for anything that goes wrong AND expect you to learn things on your own for the most part and give you things to do even when they know you have not been trained to do so. The pay is very low for all the work and numerous studies they want you to work on and some of the PI's have empty ego's larger than than the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the Clinical research Nirses have favorite coordinators who are still there and haven't moved up the ladder. No growth for career advancement! WARNING to future Research ApplicNts: if you want to SLAVE away as a Clinical Research DATA Coordinator with low pay, then go ahead and apply at this institution. You will work your life off! Don't say you have not been warned!!!

Get Us Parking!

Pros

Great leadership and good doctors.

Cons

The parking situation for anyone that has worked at HMH for less than 30 years is downright atrocious! You are for forced to park at the FDU Campus (a 10 minute drive from the hospital itself), and wait for a shuttle that they say comes every 10-minutes but is much more sporadic than advertised. On the way back to your car after having worked an entire shift, you are then forced to wait outside in a queue of at least 10-15 people (potentially having to wait for the next van) just for another 20 minute ride (because the van stops at at least two lots) back to FDU. The alternative is finding spots on the surrounding streets which is a crapshoot depending on what time the shift starts. Doing this is at least a 5 minute walk back to the hospital.

A good place for stability

Pros

HMH isn’t going anywhere. This is healthcare network that is growing both in size and innovation. There’s a lot of effort into making things better. For these reasons, you’ll have a stable career here. A couple other main highlights: - No micromanagement - my management team trusts everyone on the team. I genuinely feel supported anytime I have an issue and need to bring it to my manager. Metrics are tracked and we have targets, but I’ve never felt micromanaged. - Fully remote and flexible - I have full control over my daily schedule. We’re fully remote and there’s no discussion of going back to an office at this time. - Our work has impact - This is a huge healthcare network. You’re helping out your own local communities by keeping the hospitals staffed. It’s a great place to work for people who care more about doing meaningful work than chasing quarterly financial goals. - This is the first recruiting job where I haven’t had to work weekends or late into the night. There are some days I may click around a bit or answer a few extra emails, but I’ve never felt pressured to work unrealistic hours. I have real work life balance in my role. Another pro that I’ve noticed across the board is that so many leaders genuinely care for and advocate for their team members. Obviously not every manager is great, but I work with so many leaders who really want the best for their employees. I haven’t seen this level of motivation in other organizations.

Cons

I love my job, but there are a few things I would change. - We need new HR Tech. PeopleSoft is so outdated. Nobody in HR likes using it, nobody on the business side likes using it. I don’t understand why we haven’t upgraded to Workday yet. - There are so many SVPs and Chiefs across the organization. It’s very, very too heavy. I don’t know what all these people do, but I know they make very healthy salaries. The downside is that most other employees are paid low in the market because we just keep hiring SVPs and Chiefs. - Along with the size and being top heavy comes the biggest hurdle: we’re too slow to change. The ambition for innovation is there, but there are too many “important” people that need to sign off on things that so many things just don’t happen.
