Pros

Ample opportunity for lateral movement. Provides significant insurance discounts with wellness incentives and has an excellent and well equipped wellness center (gym/pool/spa). Offers many local discounts as additional employment benefits. Has many locations in the region so it is easy to move around if needed. Is restricted by recent COPA regulations to prevent layoffs for several years.

Cons

Max 15% raises or minimum of base pay for promotions of frontline employees, layoffs and position eliminations occur without regard to employee performance, position, tenure, or departmental consequences. No discernable administrative career ladder. Noncompetitive pay (33% below regional average). Highly blame based corporate culture.

Pros

Supportive coworkers and the use of Epic as the EHR.

Cons

Retirement match only deposited once per year instead of each pay period. This means less potential for gains in your own retirement account on that money throughout the year. And if you leave before the annual match, you forfeit an entire year's worth of company match. Pay is not at market level. In departments that are primarily remote, we are competing for talent among more prestigious orgs and also larger markets with much higher pay. It is nearly impossible to retain talent that isn't local and already accustomed to the lower wages (that have only become more stagnant since the merger). PTO (which includes vacation, holidays, and the first 3 days of illness leave) accrues at a much slower rate than other similarly sized organizations.
