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

Flexibility, Free CE opportunities and renewals, Size of hospital.

Cons

Wages are low compared to other health systems. Promotions/Awards/Opportunities are given based on who you know and if you are in clique or not; does not matter if you are their strongest and most hard-working employee. When you sit down one on one with certain people, they appear to be compassionate and caring.Yet, when you see each other outside of your meeting, they do not even greet you with a "hello". My concerns and questions tend to get ignored. They prefer staff members that do not speak up and instead tolerate their games. There is a huge lack of communication in my department and most of what they communicate is done through social media, instead of work email. Instead of being productive during downtime, some folks are more concerned with violating the social media policy, taking "selfies", braiding hair, painting nails, you name it.

Pros

This company has a great benefit package. However, the salary is almost lowest one around.

Cons

Management has no idea what is going on in reality. They try to increase workload for all department. People start to leave and look for another job.
