Pros

- Benefits are affordable for yourself and your family - Room to learn a lot

Cons

- Team was stuck in a very small, congested office - Employees do not work your typical 9-5, they work 10-14 hours daily, plus weekends to manage projects - The team was so overwhelmed and almost everyone had anxiety or saw a therapist - The workload was extreme; clearly, they were understaffed - No work-life balance. Someone said "my child is old enough to raise themselves" - Those who have been there for lengthy periods and have watched the company grow, withhold information from the newer employees which created a hostile environment - They promote diversity and inclusion but it is clear that their teams are separated by race, socioeconomic status, and seniority - Favoritism and nepotism: People hire their family members and friends to work on the same team and it created hostility when the blue-collar workers tried to address management's behavior - Punishment for managers who violate blue-collar workers' contracts is not taken seriously and is unjust in comparison to blue-collars violating their contract for management (unfair practices)

Thank you for your review as a Program Manager. At Northwell, our leaders are helping us on our quest to redefine healthcare, and without their leadership, we wouldn’t be named Forbes America's Dream Employer. We strive to offer a culture that upholds our values and mission, while also supporting the wants and needs of our patients and team members. Your comments are important to us, which is why we will share them internally.

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
