Pros

Excellent health benefits as long as you go to northwell doctors. Northwell corporate is a very progressive and accommodating employer. Unfortunately they allow their EMS department to hide all manor of unscrupulous behavior behind blue striped uniforms and paid partnerships with sports teams and concert venues.

Cons

Employees can expect to be treated like their existence is nothing short of an aggravation and a burden on administration. No work life balance. At any given time you can find an employee crying in the parking lot. Complete disregard for ethical practices and rapidly declining quality of pt care. Supervisors are more concerned with your boots being untied than your mental health and wellbeing. They don’t care if you haven’t eaten in 12 hrs as long as you have the correct color turtleneck on underneath your uniform shirt.

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
