Unappreciated, over-worked, staff with many years of experience and dedication treated as dispensable worker ants.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large network of providers that you can see.

Cons

Incentive bonus that entire SMG staff worked hard all year to get was taken away due to the budget announced in an informal email two weeks before Christmas after staff worked all year to meet and exceed the company's financial goals, a large amount of responsibility placed on all staff who are then only noticed when something is "not done right" instead of a simple "thank you" or thumbs up when they are and lack of communication throughout the organization.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good wages, due only to union pressure. Decent benefits, but could be better considering it is a hospital after all.

Cons

This place is run by incompetent workers who have been promoted to managers solely on seniority and not based on any experience or leadership skills. This results in people who mistreat their employees and "boss them around". If it weren't for the unions in the hospital the work conditions would be even more deplorable for those in the lower-end jobs such kitchen, cleaning and possibly nurses and nurses' assistants. After what I've witnessed as an employee I will not even go there as a patient.
