Pros

The benefits are competitive and the salary is close to market. The people in which I work with are friendly and management are very good people to work for. The hours tend to take up more than 40 hours. But with the changes that are occurring, that is to expected

Cons

The issue with the organization is the lack of vision moving forward. Since the dismissal of executive leadership, no one in the organization has stepped up to fill in the gap. This has led to decisions being made by outside organizations known as their partners that does not benefit the vision and goals that were set forth by previous leadership. Without warning or discussion, the movement backwards has been set into motion without waiting for new leaders to fill the roles. OU Medicine has ignored people who are more experienced in their perspective fields and allowed other organizations and personnel make irreversible decisions that could affect patient care.

Pros

Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

Cons

Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
