Smart place to start a career, or advance further in your career
Pros
IndependentnHealth is a reputable not-for-profit organization that is well known for supporting its local communities, as well as other nont-for-profit organizations; you can be proud to say that youre an associate there. IH generously offers professional growth courses that are scheduled during your work time thru their Learning Center; as well as countless opportunities to volunteer as a "Red Shirt" at IH sponsored charity events. In addition, IH associates are encouraged to promote a healthy lifestyle by participating in inncentive programs that reward healthy choices.
Cons
Although this is a regional company, serving a good percentage of the local residential/commercial populations, it is very 'corporate' oriented in such aspects of business: compliance regulations & requirements associated with privacy & confidentiality of protected health information, standard policies & procedures (re: paid time off, internal promotions, absence/tardiness, dress code, benefit eligibility, ect.). They recently redesigned the office structure in 3 out of their 5 buildings located within the corporate park, to reflect a more 'open' atmosphere by reducing personal desk space & using low partition walls, verses the higher ones that you usually see. Supervisors, managers & directors have ascending partitioning walls according to their title (Director=High walls; most privacy). This can be a big adjustment for someone who has never had experience working in this type of setting.
