Pros

Not many these days. There is a lot of networking opportunities

Cons

There’s continued pressure to pack providers schedules with more and more patients and add more patient hours but we’re not given the tools or team to match the workload. It’s causing burnt out employees and providers leading to a more negative environment. Middle management ends up being the scapegoat for upper leadership’s demands while given no support, instead being told “make it work” over and over. I used to be proud to work for Northwell, but the continued threats of staff cuts and budget issues is making it miserable.

Pros

Office setting; nice people, cafeteria

Cons

Overworked and severely underpaid, short staffed for the amount of patients they intake to the program (on the clinician side and administrative), very low pay for administrative workers, little to no real benefits (PTO is not front loaded but trickled in: 1 hour accumulated per pay period - it would take about 4 months to accumulate 1 full day of PTO. Sick time is a similar trickle system so you end up taking a lot of unpaid time until you can’t), due to that it’s impossible to not get burnt out. The union also hasn’t negotiated a good contract if these conditions exist for those at the basic level. Food in the cafeteria is not great and sometimes gives people the runs. Also it’s expensive (full price despite working for the org; they cannot even give discounts which is weird considering how much the CEO makes and how little we do). Feel abandoned and not properly compensated. Deeply exhausted.
