Supportive benefits but toxic leadership and corruption issues

Registered nurse

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great doctors who stand behind a teaching hospital. Accessable and convenient benefits for the individual employee( family plans are expensive)-Strong retirement plan.

Cons

Considering the structural growth over the years, you would think that TOP leadership would attempt to break the toxic chain created at this Global enterprise, but clear to date its not what you know-its who you know, Actually, it very well could be what you know that brings you to the top. Stop supporting corrupt behavior due to fear of exposure. This organization needs a top to bottom face lift. At one time, certain departments were managed with respect, dignity, and appreciation until greed, power, and fear became a replacement. Instead of eliminating a problem, its gets promoted. Very sad to see, it was once a great place to work. DO NOT GO TO HR FOR ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS(corruption at its finest)-Research corporate compliance.
