Pros

The benefits are great (I think). I do not have a whole lot of work experience, though. I've only had two jobs since I finished my undergrad a little over 5 years ago. There are a lot of resources for employess: wellness center (workout facility, massages, accupuncture, etc.), employess assistance program (for those in need of financial or mental help - among other things), volunteer opportunities, etc., etc. There is a 403(b) that matches anywhere from 4%+ (depending on position and years of service, I believe) as well as a Defined contribution plan which is a percentage of your salary based on position and years of service, as well. Plus we have been in the top ten of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to work for for the last few years - I personally think it's kind of a fluke, but they must be doing something right.

Cons

Appears to be quite difficult to transfer within the system. There are new rules defining how an employee must go about the process: inform your direct boss FIRST, then if you are invited to interview in another department/entity, etc. your boss is informed and can decline to allow you to interview, long process that your current boss can drastically slow down.

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.
