Pros

-Tuition reimbursement! Best thing about this place. -Wonderful staff excluding mid-/upper- level management/physicians. Many of the medical residents are great, though.

Cons

-Corporately-run hospital, profit-driven, major donors are Koch brothers -Not racially- or gender-diverse in mid or upper level management and medical staff (overwhelmingly white, male, and wealthy) -Completely out of touch with issues of patient population outside of the 1% -Caters to ultra-wealthy, athletes, and those referred by employees -Does not support employee physical or mental health concerns (remember, this is a hospital) -Inappropriate comments from physicians and upper management staff - includes racially-insensitive and -prejudiced comments, gender discrimination. These types of comments flourish in a culture supported by the hospital (comfortable atmosphere if your'e rich, white, and not engaged in these issues) -Inappropriate comments from patients that are supported, even encouraged, by medical staff and upper management -Management staff in general lacks advanced degrees/higher education beyond Bachelors' and/or formal/appropriate management training (many have reached their positions just by their mere presence in growing areas of the hospital)
