Pros

Great for people passionate about being apart of a leading healthcare organization. Compensation is competitive, bonuses can be significant. Once you learn the organization and the politics, you can be very successful and build a rewarding career.

Cons

Highly political and at times, abusive workplace. Significant lack of strategic business leadership causes unattainable workloads and disconnected priorities. Tenured workforce resistant to change challenged with an imperative to innovate their model of care.

Pros

You really can work 9-5 here. Many of the people are very nice. Many people are very family oriented and supportive of family-first priorities.

Cons

Turnover is rampant. Every decision goes through 5-10 levels of approval through various committees. No one knows how to use the systems. There's just no chance of changing any of the AWFUL systems and processes in place. (The CIO said he's backing Mainframe and IBM, and thinks mobile is a passing fad)

Pros

Benefits; other than that .................. can't think of any.

Cons

Micromanaged, everything is based on QUANTITY of work and metrics. Discrimination and very hostile work environment. Gives the ILLUSION of having a union, but union is just another branch of management. Worst job I have ever had in my 30 years of working. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ... you have been warned.
