Phenomenal growth and opportunity at Northside Hospital when economy is good.
Pros
The opportunities for education and training are plentiful and encouraged for all levels of staff. Managerial benefits were generous and appreciated. Constant growth and plans for the future infected the employees with optimism. During good economic times there is no better place to work in healthcare Atlanta market. Administration friendly and open to ideas. Terrific non-profit organization.
Cons
As a non-profit, the economic recession of 2008 hit Northside hard and there were many rounds of layoffs for a two year period--through early 2011. Clinical staff was kept of course, but hundreds of long term employees including Directors and Managers in non-clinical roles lost their jobs. Positions were eliminated and those job duties spread to other existing lower paid staff members.
