Pros
Competitive pay if you negotiate well up front. Decent benefits They won't fire you even if you are completely incompetent. The organization does a lot of great work in the community. The name recognition on your resume will help land you a job somewhere else. Continuing education onsite that you can take to another organization that is looking to implement organizational changes for the better. You can move up pretty fast as long as you do not rock the boat or if you know someone. The recruitment managers really do care and want to see you succeed. Jim Garman is a dynamic public speaker along with most of the C- Suite. You learn so much from their talks during the HR meetings Employee satisfaction is pretty high throughout the hospital staff in most of the hospitals.
Cons
The organization is a non-profit which would normally be a good thing but they waste SO MUCH money it makes your head spin. The resources they waste on out of town recruitment events that have 0% ROI could be spent on employee development or in community health & awareness programs. The C-Suite seems to be out of touch with what their direct reports are really up to. The recruitment director is not an effective leader, not objective and somewhat sexist. Recruitment expectations are very reasonable and honestly the metrics are not even real numbers. You can easily put a candidate in offer status and count it as a hire and no one will know the difference. I am not sure why they do not base the numbers off the HRIS system on the day the new hire starts which is a real number but I think recruitment director does not want this to change because his bonus gets tied into how many "hires" there are a year. There is a lot of turnover but it is a great chance to learn and meet new people from different industries. Unequal pay for women compared to men in the department based on experience.
