Pros

Great pay, great benefits, decent work environment; opportunity to work with some brilliant, dedicated people in medical field.

Cons

Lack of Manager Training: Managers receive minimal or no training, leading to inadequate leadership skills and performance. HR Focus on Employee Relations: HR primarily concentrates on employee relations matters, neglecting other crucial areas such as retention and manager training. Managerial Incompetence: Incompetent managers, who may not possess the necessary skills for their roles, continue to thrive solely based on their title. Lack of Oversight from Upper Management: Upper management fails to monitor and assess the performance of managers, allowing issues within teams to go unnoticed. Absence of Managerial Reviews: The absence of regular reviews or assessments for managers contributes to a chaotic work environment. High Turnover: The organization experiences significant turnover, with employees often leaving due to management-related issues. Culture of Retirement: Many employees stay with the organization until retirement due to attractive retirement benefits, rather than job satisfaction. Limited Layoffs or Terminations: There is a reluctance to terminate employees unless they severely underperform in their roles. Flexible Work Arrangements: Despite official policies requiring onsite presence, many employees, including managers, are allowed to work remotely or from other locations, contributing to a hybrid work environment with flexible arrangements. Culture? what's that??
