Pros

The hospital I work in is beautiful, and has many resources for patients — although since northwell’d acquisition multiple supportive departments have been dissolved. So what was once a pro is becoming a con. There are union contracts available, the only other pro I can think of.

Cons

Understaffed units, speaking to leadership and asking for guidance is like speaking into the void. In fact, it is often met with retaliation from team leaders. Management and leadership is seemingly self serving and not patient focused. They are very much money focused. I would be wary of working here, especially if you have a license—unless you are comfortable knowing you are truly on your own.

Pros

The benefits are decent It's a large organization, so there may be many opportunities

Cons

They put on a facade by applying for all the awards in the world. They tout being an amazing workplace with an exceptional culture, but the individual team members don't Truly feel that. Team members are always wearing multiple hats and doing the work of 3-5 people. HR promotes GROW conversations, but department leadership puts you down when you advocate for yourself and work toward promotions Goalposts are always moving. They'll promise you promotions, salary increases, etc., give you false hope, and then pull the rug under you and make you feel completely dissatisfied and like a horrible person for wanting more. They ask you to give them high ratings on the annual employer Perceptyx survey. If you don't, you suffer the consequences. They'll put together an action plan that leads to work falling on your lap to improve things rather than having leadership take accountability and implement positive change. In fact, rather than trying to implement positive change, they will give you dozens of reasons why we should accept the status quo and why there's nothing wrong with how they're operating. They are always in a budget deficit. You'll never get help. They are afraid to go against the grain and be innovative. They always ask what the other health systems are doing, but won't do more Unless you're a physician or nurse, you are not treated well at Northwell
