Pros

Brand looks great on the resume, high recognizability. Learn nuances of an academic medical center (as opposed to community) and the unique culture associated w a top 25 US News & World Report Hospital. If you just need a job and a paycheck this is a great organization to "hide-out." Clinical research taking place is top-notch.

Cons

Very sterile work environment, no decision rights at any level other than senior management, executive leadership that's very arrogant and does not live the company values. Years of service determine position rather than talent and capabilities. The org gets low work place culture/satisfaction scores. The environment is tense and frigid. Marketing and communications dept led by very inexperienced senior leadership who redo/perform much of the frontline work. Sadly this neither a place I would choose to work nor seek medical care and that sincerely surprised me.

Pros

Pay, benefits and that's about it.

Cons

It's who you know, not what you know. Experienced 3 restructuring episodes only to be given the axe in the third. Honesty with employees is questionable. Fairness in selection process is dependent upon the manager and the institution's hidden agenda.
