Pros

The nurses and physicians are good, caring people and they love their patients. There are many good people at Methodist Health System.

Cons

If you're offered a job in administration - run. The CIO will target you for character assassination and harassment if she sees you as a threat. Ask the CMO. The closer you office to her, the harder it is to do your work without the interruption of her loudly dragging the names of your colleagues through the mud. She's in and out of offices trying to churn up trouble. She has no problem with lying to protect herself and has been known to read staff emails. She got a few meaningless awards and seems to have the wool pulled over administration's eyes. She exaggerates her experience and training just look at the website where is says she "pursued" postgraduate studies in management information systems at George Washington University. Yoda says, "There is no try, only do." Patient Safety is in trouble. The CIO is responsible for the IT system nurses pull discharge instructions from. It has dangerously inaccurate information, that has been given to patients in the past. Terrifying this is what critically ill patients can be sent home with. She refuses to fix it because the new Epic system will solve the problem in a year or more, and she doesn't want to spend the time or money. Maybe she just hopes no one will die because of her decision.

Not The Best Place To Work

Pros

Willing to hire at entry level.

Cons

ER department is very unprofessional and the turn over rate is very high across the board. After two years I could count on one hand the people who were still there when I started. The environment is very toxic and if you're a good person with morals and ethics, you will hate it and not last. It's also not easy to move up because management will block you from getting promoted. This place makes the best place to work list because they basically force you to do the survey and of course it's not anonymous like they lead you to believe.

Pros

lots of exposure for those starting out in the medical industry, some of the co-workers are supportive and team focused. Opportunity for improvement and to use many skills if you can breach the cultural climate.

Cons

Management can be patronizing, racist, classist, conservative Republican and intolerant, many co-workers are toxic, hostile, and passive aggressive. Benefits are the industry standard and not as exceptional as told to candidates excluding the401K plan as any other company. No training provided, unclear expectations, high turnover rate ( my position was previously filled by four other employees whom mysteriously left and or was fired. While working there two other people vanished for reasons unknown). If you don't pretend to be Republican, wealthy ( from the right family) and a football enthusiast you are shunned and setup to fail. Management will welcome you with open arms then listen to other employees who are in self-protection mode because of the cutthroat climate and will throw you under the bus. Communication, project planning, and task assignment was the most unorganized confusing place I have ever worked. I am completing my third degree, and I have successfully met all of these challenges despite many issues yet this organization was insurmountable with hostility and toxicity making even the most competent candidate feel ostracized. As a new employee patronizing was the norm for standard and general inquiry a new employee makes when transitioning. Expectations were set for a task that had not been performed before or had significant changes in procedure that management remain unaware of and indifferent to how this impacted performance. There was no set performance evaluation ( ever disclosed to me), and all things were decided based on subjective gossip.You believe the management is fair and balanced yet as soon as reasonable problems occur for a new employee their loyalty is intense for tenured employees (some are very committed and concerned for healthy outcomes . While others are over aggressive bullies) to the point of blindness to unhealthy dynamics. Working for this company was the worst decision I have ever made. If you have no self-respect, value one-side relationships, classism, and far right wing conservative views this company is for you if not look elsewhere. After a few weeks you have no idea who to trust, the honeymoon phase ends, two-faced reports begin to take place and subtle yet undeniable hostility starts to show from management.
