Pros
Exceptional benefits Lots of options for different locations, different parts of healthcare Could be a truly great organization given our unique size and footprint
Cons
Nepotism and patronage (e.g. neighbors, dentist's son) are rampant throughout, especially for senior leaders. There are a lot of good people with good ideas, but ideas are not welcomed. Presenting alternative views in front of many of our leaders is suicidal. We believe our own press too much and do not look at how we are actually doing (poor patient satisfaction, poor Leapfrog) Taking on way too much risk with health insurance, doctors, more hospitals...now maybe Brooklyn - seriously. Union employees are treated more favorably than non-union (Optum is an example).
