Pros

Talented team members Remote work schedule

Cons

The Vice President is an ineffective leader who grew into the role from marketing intern, breeds a submissive culture, and lacks the leadership skills to both build and motivate a team, and remove the marketing, communications, digital, and facility marketing siloes through integration. I have seen top talent consistently rotate in and out of the department at a high rate during my eight plus years which has created instability and resulted in several restructures. Unfortunately, this has not only created a reputation for the department but made it difficult to attract talent.

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.
