Pros

Staff and faculty are clearly on a mission from the heart to help people with cancer. Wonderful benefits and great opportunity if you're genuinely interested in learning and not to just have MDA on your resume.

Cons

HR has been a mess since contacting me for an interview all the way up to a start date. No answers to my emails returning their own questions, cutting Zoom interviews short by mistake, interview scheduling conflicts, etc. Even the interviewing staff and hiring managers complained openly about HR and their lack of organization and cohesiveness during interviews. After taking almost 4 weeks to onboard, everything seems fine now.

Horrible place to work

Pros

Time off package. Opportunity for growth (IF you network).

Cons

Everyone drinks the kool-aid and is somehow ok with receiving a salary way lower than the market rate. You also MUST contribute 8% to TRS, which only gives you a 2% return on your investment a year. We should be given an option.

Pros

Pension, health insurance is free for employee only, employees are caring toward patients. President Pisters does keep staff well informed and strive to improve the institution.

Cons

Always understaffed year after year, takes an act of congress to be approved for additional staff, annual raise is laughable regardless of performance rating, work tons of hours during personal time due to unable to complete duties during working hrs, no trust between leadership due to lack of following up with concerns or any communication with following up, management does not address concerns, allow employees to abuse FMLA which contributes to staffing concerns. Save yourself the headache and choose Methodist instead. I am told the salary is competitive and less toxic work environment.
