1.) Weak links among the senior and executive leadership teams, and too much internal bickering within their ranks.
2. ) Initially, the presence of so many longterm employees at Legacy may seem a good sign--however, it is both a cause of inertia and an outcome of tolerance for mediocrity.
3.) When faced with organizational issues, Legacy too often takes a "try to make everybody happy" approach, rather than making smart business decisions.
4.) Poor HR policies that, again, strive to be "fair," rather than rewarding excellence. So Instead of "pay for performance, Legacy claims to extend "the same" percentage pay raise to all employees, except this is not true: everybody gets the same percentage raise, based on the midpoint of their position''s pay range. This means if you were hired near the top of your pay range (due to good qualifications), you actually receive a lesser raise than those whose pay is at the lower end. Frustration with lack of reward leads to Legacy losing talented employees while retaining mediocre ones.
5. ) Benefits not on par with other health systems. Most notably, there is no paid holiday. Instead, holidays are deducted from employees' bank of earned vacation days.
