Pros

Partners system is a giant and MGH is part of an incredible health enterprise.

Cons

Salary is not competitive and only way to increase salary is to leave and find a new job outside of MGH. The merit increase is the only way up and at 2% per year it is a very slow climb. This is a disincentive to stay and perform like a rock star. HR policies do not support growth and the practice of equity among limited career paths further stifles opportunity and growth. New talent is held back based upon HR equity. Not smart.

Pros

A lot of resources, well supported and trained staff, very protocoled.

Cons

Low pay, high turnover, too many changes with the merge with not enough communication. Choosing to hire more people and expanding the hospital without compensating those already staying and putting in more work.

Pros

- Mostly simple tasks - Easy to catch on, even without healthcare experience - Entry level and training is provided, which is rare in this job market...

Cons

- Not a living wage - Health insurance provided is unaffordable with this pay, especially considering the insurance is part of the MGB business - Often have to cover weekends
