Dedicated People, But Systemic Issues Need Serious Attention
Pros
Passionate, mission-driven coworkers who truly care about patient care and community health. Strong benefits package including PTO, health insurance, and retirement options. Opportunities for cross-training and department collaboration. Some flexibility depending on department and leadership.
Cons
Chronic understaffing leads to burnout and low morale, especially in patient-facing roles. Leadership often feels disconnected from frontline realities—decisions are made from the top down with little practical input. Communication is inconsistent, and transparency around major changes is lacking. Career advancement can be slow unless you're well-networked internally. Technology systems and workflows are outdated or overly complex, slowing down daily tasks.
