Pros

Good clinical experience, many managers really believe in promoting good employee culture, generally most employees believe in putting the patients first. I liked the employee forums, where leadership would essentially communicate to employees what was going on on an administrative level. Coin cards were always a nice surprise and encouraging to read. Also liked getting thank you cards from management, which helped me feel noticed and appreciated.

Cons

Human Resources. Let me just say, first off, I consider myself a fair person - I fully understand that one should get paid based on experience, current position, and the market average that matches those two things. No one is expecting big $$ at a nonprofit hospital. I also understand that virtually every employee at any company on glassdoor is going to claim they are not being paid enough. That being said, the pay with LGH is genuinely atrocious, although they continually claim that it is comparable to market value. I can assure you, it is not even close. I almost made more money working part time for another company than I did working full time for LGH. If you want great clinical experience and don't mind penny pinching for a few years, LGH is great. However, if you are seasoned, have kids in college, or have a mortgage, look elsewhere.

Pros

Great benefits Work life balance Accrue GPT/PTO at a quick rate

Corporate/admin are all small teams and when you have conflict with superiors or coworkers, it can be hard to navigate\ The pay is lower than other opportunities but the benefits can make up the difference
