No transparency, execs rewarding themselves, not worth your time.

Pros

Benefits are OK/average. ...nothing else to speak of is a pro.

Cons

- No flex time, no flexibility, no work from home, unless you are a manager, and then you make your own rules and do pretty much whatever you want. The people doing the actual work get rewarded with yearly raises of 80 cents per paycheck. (No, I'm not kidding.) - no room for upward mobility. The same people who've been doing the jobs for 30 years are going to continue to be promoted--don't work here if you're a millennial, they will treat you like garbage, and you absolutely have NO chance of advancing. - No work/life balance. You are always on call. - The company intimidates employees into silence/ towing the company line. Execs are delusional and oblivious to what's happening in their own company and hospitals. Employees are an absolute afterthought, and will never get a straight or honest answer from leadership. - Everything is always spun to look rosy - and it does, for the top leaders who get raises every year for bad performance. Several low quality, unsafe hospitals in the system that don't change much. - This is a low integrity company. Leadership espouses none of the cultural values claimed to be critical. I would not allow my relatives or friends to be treated at a MedStar facility.
