Pros

Northwell Health had developed a great reputation during the pandemic, so it’s a great company to have on your resume to say you have worked there. Benefits are descent, especially if all you funnel your medical needs through Northwell Health Physicians. Benefit information is available to the public if you Google it.

Cons

If you work in HR, TA, or CORP, be prepared for ESCALATION CULTURE, NO support from your managers and leaders who have no idea what you do and demand more of you. NO IN LINE PROMOTIONS in TA. They claim there is growth opportunity, but there isn’t much growth. There is a bit of nepotism but not within the same departments, however leaders use their title to get their relatives through the door. So the application process for growth can be falsified. The blame is on the employee if they can’t move up, however they seemingly have ore-selected candidates for any growth opportunities one can apply to. The Match on your retirement plans is a lot less than other companies, and the vesting period is 6 years (huge turnover at NWH, perhaps that’s why). Benefits are much more expensive at the corporate level than the hospital, so it’s not uniform throughout the system. They aren’t actually diverse and inclusive, especially at the leadership level. Non BIPOC/POC women over 40 are shouldn’t count, because that’s the majority of their staff, but it appears they do so it seems as if they are “diverse and inclusive.” HR does not work together, at all. Partnership should be at all levels, however, since the HR specialties are all separated, there is no real sense of “ONE HR,” aka ONE TEAM. Promotions are mainly seen at executive levels throughout the organization. Lower level staff who make then organization keep running, are left out of the growth opportunity. You have to leave and come back if you want to be considered.

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
