Pros

Teamwork is pretty good overall

Cons

Executive management is terrible. New CNO is changing absolutely everything including eliminating leadership positions. They’re getting rid of supervisor jobs and I don’t have a manager. Who’s going to go the schedule? Or approve PTO? Or help me on the floor? Or help me with any benefits stuff? Stupid that hems getting rid of the position that does most of a managers job when. Most managers in this hospital don’t do anything anyway. My supervisors in any department I’ve ever been in have been the ones to teach me and coach me so that I do things right. I’ve never even met the interim managers, they never come introduce themselves to nightshift.

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.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, ample PTO, pay is fair after several adjustments over the last few years.

Cons

For an entity that shares its name with a school, they do not invest much in education, unfortunately. Inconsistent, poorly-trained managers hiring friends and family, very high turnover. In 6 years, I never once worked on a fully-staffed team.
