Toxic environment at Foundation

Pros

Benefits are good, has potential to be great place to work

Cons

The Foundation is such a missed opportunity to do so much good. The person in charge (in real time, as the acting president is split between two jobs and not actually directly supervising the development staff) desperately needs to retire. She sews distrust among her staff so they don't feel safe talking to each other about whether they, too, have been bullied or harassed by her. It's textbook abuser behavior, to isolate her employees, set them up for failure, then blame everything on them. Also, she lies. When the pandemic broke out, plenty of staff in office roles throughout the University Health System went remote. But this woman did not understand technology and did not want to learn it so she decided she did not trust her employees to actually do their work from home, so she isolated them all, asked them if they felt comfortable working in the office, then lied and told them all when they were together that they'd "all" said they felt totally comfortable working in person - during a pandemic when the mayor had issued a work safe from home order. Setting a pretty terrible example for a public health system. She also lied to an employee and told her the "higher ups" had made a decision that working from home wasn't going to be allowed anymore even if the employee wanted to - BLATANT lie. She needs to GO.

HR is 15 years behind

Pros

- Some of the kindest people you'll ever meet! - Lots of new buildings means beautiful up-to-date workspaces. - If you stay long enough, you'll be promoted eventually (regardless of your skill).

Cons

- System is very slow and full of red tape. - Computers and computer systems are all about 10 years out of date. - HR is painfully behind the curve and don't seem to understand most job descriptions or which skills are considered coveted in today's landscape. - Benefits (aside from health benefits) generally are not great, and wages across the board are too low unless you are Executive Director level. - Outdated system that makes it almost impossible to get more than 3% raise after your annual evaluation, no matter how hard you work. - Age and years worked seem to really take precedence over talent, skill, personality, results, etc. Some of the most incompetent people I've ever met get promoted to the top just because they've been there for 15 years.

Pros

Teaching hospital, exposure to a lot of stuff, and opportunities to learn for new grads are endless.

Cons

Extremely low pay, working environment, RNs with experience look down on the coworkers with less years of experience. They praise themselves for being the best hospital in the area. However, it seems like the worst. Worst experience ever working for these hospital.
