Pros

The pay is competetive. The patient population is diverse and challenging. The facility is nice, constantly updated, and stays current with the trends. Benefits are decent with nice perks. Optional wellness program designed to boost health insurance via incentives. Technology and informatics are current and trending. Patients state they usually receive a high quality level of care. Excellent physicians.

Cons

there has been a lot of subsidiaries dispersed into the facility as well as almost all of the surrounding regional medical facilities. Thus, mission is a monopoly that has nixed all of the healthy competition. Mission also places a higher value, in my opinion, on the aesthetically pleasing facility rather than the quality of patient care or staff satisfaction and retention. This is how mission is able to bypass their non - profit organization status. Constant restructuring of the staff causes job insecurity and anxiety, as staff workforce reductions take place to replace the ever - increasing debt mission has incurred. Mission tends more toward the punitive nature rather than non-punitive. Recent changes were made giving IV placements back to staff nurses, rather than having the expert IV team place them. This has caused anxiety among staff and patients alike as complication rates and patient complaints have increased. Misdion has long desired to obtain Magnet status, but lacks the appropriate leadership styles to do so. Benefit packages have slowly but surely deteriorated over the years as more and more has been taken away from staff. Over the years, less and less value has been placed on staff and is unfortunate.

Thanks for your feedback, and your perspective. There is a GREAT article on Scope about what it means to be a not-for-profit: http://missionandme.mission-health.org/scope/2017/07/31/closer-look-not-profit-brief-q-dr-paulus/ I do want to point out that Mission continues to receive recognition on a national level, much of which is related to patient care, outcomes, and staff satisfaction: http://www.mission-health.org/awards_mh.php Some of these include Top 100 Places to Work, Great Place to Work and Practice, Top 1% of of Best Hospitals, Nations Top 15 Health Systems, Culture of Excellence.... the list goes on!

Pros

Great nurses, resilient community, many leadership growth opportunities, large hospital with many specialties, the only level 1 trauma center in WNC.

Cons

The hours are very challenging. often 5am to 6pm M-F. No additional compensation for extra hours, nights, or on-call weekends. You must love the work, and have minimal need for work-life balance to enjoy working here.
