Pros
As the largest employer in Pierce County, MultiCare offers multiple opportunities for those interested in health care. The senior leadership is committed to growth and makes efforts to communicate with those in upper management. The benefits remain quite good, especially in a time when so many employers are cutting them.
Cons
For those like me who do not possess degrees in health care, even though I possess the education, qualities and abilities to excel at my job, my compensation is lower than if I possessed, say, a degree in nursing, for example. Like most major hospital-based systems, the departments generating the most revenue receive the most rewards; thus, smaller departments, even though increasing their revenue stream and making a positive contribution to the system, receive little recognition for bottom line improvement.
