Pros
Great camaraderie, benefits, teams on the ground. People want to do what's right for the patients and right for each other to make it an enjoyable workplace. System will always be okay because of the dedicated boots on the ground.
Cons
Corporate office is dysfunctional, bureaucratic, not present, and non-productive. Top heavy and overvalued. Feels like a pyramid scheme at this point. Current execs lost touch with sites and spend little time at them. Mid-managers are carrying the load while execs are stuck in meeting cycles and provide little support. For a health system on financial life support, exec salaries are insane considering the actual support or value received. They blame system issues on external factors when there is a lot of dysfunction and waste that they either won't or aren't capable of doing anything to correct. Instead of padding the corporate office, they could do more by better managing the teams they have. System-wide issues will loom until there are executive changes. Opportunities for staff to provide feedback like the "Voice of the Associate" Survey have disappeared and results are never published anymore. Transparency from executives, as well as confidence and trust in them, is at an all-time low.
