Pros

Current manager is nice enough.

Cons

Poor staffing/not enough staffing to cover if staff is sick. They do not give enough PTO for how often and hard we work. Also, the "paid holidays" that are offered are not actually given to you. The office is closed but they take your hard earned PTO to cover for the days that the office is not open for a holiday. How is that fair?

Pros

I have worked at MaineHealth for over 14 years and have had the opportunity to grow through five promotions. What started as a better job opportunity has become a career I am genuinely committed to. My experience has been positive overall, with strong mentors, good colleagues, and meaningful work that supports people who are helping others. I have generally felt trusted, challenged, and able to grow.

Cons

Healthcare is challenging, and rural healthcare brings real financial and operational pressure. MaineHealth is a large organization, so communication and decision-making can sometimes feel slow or uneven depending on the area. Not every decision will make sense to every employee in the moment, even when there are good reasons behind it. Like most corporate structures, I think communication is something that will always need work.
