Pros

Honestly, I don't even know if there are any pros at this point. It is difficult to find them given all that seems horrible with this workplace.

Cons

Disrespectful employees, poor pay, benefits are not anything greater than in the marketplace. Employee satisfaction is not focused on at all. Expectation is to continue to add more work at higher levels and not increase pay appropriately. If attempting to move positions within the institution pay attention to pay guidelines - they are very limiting and you may be very disappointed with the move. HR issues around professionalism, disrespectful behavior and undermining are not addressed by leadership or HR promptly or effectively - issues continue to prevail and are rarely addressed due to management being afraid of conflict. Limited advocacy for personal and professional growth. The hospital is not financially managed well like a traditional business, so unless you are a clinician, you will likely be frustrated with the work environment and the limited focus on sound business practices to retain employees, be fiscally responsible and make objective decisions.

Pros

Job stability Initial Salary Flexible work hours Technical learning opportunities abound

Cons

Constant cutting of benefits: *403b matching gone *pension plan hacked to 25% of what it used to be--if that *punitive salary ceilings/caps (from what I have seen, if you stay here a while and your salary may stay the same--forever) Too many tiers of I/S management. After talking with a few employees who'd been here a while, we agree that we're actually doing less work now than we did when we started--and it's not for trying. In quite a few cases, managers aren't actually managing. They're busy grabbing the work that their employees could be doing. Employees are kept more and more isolated from areas that would normally provide feedback from adding positive value to the company. Questionable health of work environment/building. I can't imagine accepting working conditions that could be too much worse that what we're working in now--but I'm sure it's out there.

Pros

Casual work atmosphere in terms of dress etc. Nice eating/coffee facilities. Flexible schedule. Working with children and their families which can be very rewarding.

Cons

Promotions are very political. The hospital in it self is very bureaocratic, work can not get completed without going through "several hoops". Senority or loyalty means nothing there, one gets the feeling that you are easily replaceable.
