Pros

If I had to work for any big business capitalistic hospital - I would choose Methodist every time. One of the safest hospitals in the country Co-workers are awesome Lots of education material and classes More bonuses than most hospitals

Cons

They are asking for ALOT compared to what they are offering hourly. Not much progression for a PCA or salary raise. Physically exhausting and demanding to where you don’t want to work overtime. Bonuses are taxed

Pros

The transition to Workday is a welcome modernization that brings the organization more in line with other large health systems.

Cons

the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement. The criteria for earning administrative time place unrealistic expectations on APPs, making it difficult to achieve a sustainable workload. It is especially discouraging to work alongside physicians who have more attainable criteria for protected administrative time, creating a sense of inequity that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, there is little flexibility in scheduling. Offering 0.8 or 0.6 FTE positions would help retain experienced APPs who want to continue providing high-quality patient care while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Without these options, many APPs are left choosing between full-time burnout and leaving the organization altogether. the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement.
