      Unless you are senior management you don't matter.

      Pros

      It is a steady job. Vacation time is good.

      Cons

      Employees are sacrificed for the almighty dollar. Senior management will hurt the hourly employee to get their bonus. Positive feedback is non-existant. If you do well, your targets will be moved up so that you will never hit goal Just try to get the equipment you need. It takes many months to get anything approved and forget getting anything in the last quarter of the year. Even getting an employee replaced takes half a dozen signatures. By the time something gets through the system the employees are all upset because they feel nothing is being done. Middle managers then get blamed for the unhappy employees.

      The bottom line leaves employees on the bottom

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Part of integrated system with superior financial and operational reporting capabilities. Management bonus programs are outcomes based and generous

      Cons

      Extreme disrespect for front-line workers. Management employees were underdeveloped in employee relations. The focus is solely on the bottom line at the expense of patient care and a safe work environment. Reward and recognition programs unstructured for frontline staff - lotteries for prizes vs recognition for attainment of performance goals.

      Good for shareholders -- bad for employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Viable, cash rich, numerous assets, ability to transfer to other facilities while maintaining seniority

      Cons

      Central business model utilizes "cookie cutter" approach to all facilities and regions. Local senior/executive mgmt lack integrity and honesty in a fashion similar to Enron. High mgmt turnover -- new cno/cfo/coo annually. Few middle mgmt with greater than 2 years tenure.
