Pros

A patient-centered mission and values. Respect for diversity and genuine commitment to help the disadvantaged. Positive outlook and, as of early 2026, many emerging career opportunities within this developing health system. In terms of social capital, there are quite a few exceptionally loyal, hard-working people (among others), who may inspire you and teach great things.

Cons

Questionable quality of work and business objectives across the HR department. Uncompetitive salaries and, most recently, excessive focus on cost savings through labor management. Any career development opportunities are 100% up to your manager, so it depends on who they are and how lucky you get. Could be totally awesome or awful.

Pros

Opportunities to learn a lot in a short amount of time, lots of local collaborations and community engagement, networking with senior researchers and providers, career development opportunities.

Cons

A lot of office politics, I find people can be very passive aggressive when conflict or misalignment happens, role responsibilities are not clearly defined, can be difficult to secure a promotion, low pay, lots of oversight, teams can be overwhelmed because they are over staffed, I didn’t receive formal training on a lot of things, management need to be trained on team leadership, high turnover, a lot of burnout, lack of employee advocacy from management, expectations can be subjective leading to a lot of confusion.
