Pros

my peers are wonderful to work with, my immediate boss is fair.

Cons

The Union, they don't support the membership. They are not aware of upcoming management decisions that involved the laying off of a large number of nurses and ancelery staff. The health care bill is taking it's toll on healthcare in Mass and BMC is no exception.

Pros

Fulfilling work experience caring for some of the most challenging patients in the city, collaborative practice between most disciplines although newer MD's should have more supervision, convenient location accessible to highways and mass transit, flexible scheduling options

Cons

union issues cause staff to belittle management and create difficult work environment at times, poor cafeteria/food options especially at night, working nights, weekends, and holidays, equipment and supply shortages, equipment disparity between campuses and different units, management shpould be more visible on a regular basis to the bedside working staff, management needs to realize that the bedside nurses cannot leave their assignments to attend town hall type meetings so they need to come to the individual patient units to get feedback from the staff

Pros

The mission of the BMC is still a positive, but the current TA culture makes it difficult to identify many other pros.

Cons

Over the past year, the Talent Acquisition team has had two different leaders, and morale has continued to decline. The primary focus has become fill volume and speed, with weekly rankings of recruiters and their fill counts shared across the team. While metrics are important, this approach doesn’t account for the fact that some recruiters manage significantly harder-to-fill positions than others. Success often feels measured by quantity rather than the complexity or quality of hiring. There also seems to be much less emphasis on finding mission-driven candidates, following consistent processes, and maintaining compliance than there was previously. Many employees appear hesitant to raise concerns because they worry about potential retaliation. The integration of the newly acquired hospitals has added another layer of disorganization, making an already challenging environment even more difficult. Career growth opportunities within the department also feel very limited
