Pros

- if you can lower your head, keep your mouth shut then this is a place to just collect paycheck - if you don't want a career growth and are happy where you are, then this may be the place. - if you agree with whatever your boss says, then this is the place.

Cons

- poor management and no leadership direction. No accountability from the leadership. If they can pass the bucket to you, they will. They are not in line with what they preach such as the ICARE values. No innovation is encouraged or allowed. Although, the company provides an annual training in which they encourage innovation, unparalleled service, etc. - if you work in IT, this is a dead-end job place. No real in-class training and no IT conference will be approved by the managers; however, they would be the ones going to these conferences. Unfortunately, they often brought nothing back to the team to help the team/department to improve or at least learn the best practice of what the industry are doing out there. - If you remain long in IT, you will not learn anything new. Most people kept to themselves and little collaboration existed even within the same team. This is not a culture of team collaboration and team work. Everyone is for himself and herself. - There is no career growth in IT.

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.
