Cleveland Clinic reviews

Organization lacks sophistication in decision making, has dismal employee development programs and is not open to new ideas. There are too many chiefs bossing around and throwing weight around for no reason. Titles don't go with salaries and titles don't mean much. Like any other healthcare organization there is growing discontent among physicians and management, each think the other is lazy/incompetent or building turf. Not a place for someone who is driven and has a natural disposition to learn/grow. Because employees work in same position for decades, people are resistant to change, see younger talent as threat and don't care about improvement. All the senior management cares about is growing their turf and protecting it, even if it reflects on poor performance. If you are lazy or incompetent or aspire to be a sloth or if you were a high school cheer leader, you will still have a job. I can't imagine working with some of the people here, physicians might be brilliant but the staff clearly lacks any sort of sophistication. Still a not-for-profit at the end of the day. Explain what is NPV or IRR or DCF or simple profitability concepts.

It's Cleveland (what else can I say), although there are plenty of really nice areas in Ohio to live and do a little commute. As a very large health system, it has a heavy political element. And you can drink the Kool-aid and be a "team" player, or be part of the majority of people who are happy to have a job in the area. Lots of cross-town rivalry between Case Western and University Hospitals, but it also provides another opportunity to change jobs if you don't like one (join the other).
