Pros
- GWU Hospital has a rich history; truly enjoyed working here and felt a great sense of pride working with such a reputable organization. - Tremendous impact on local community providing amazing medical care. - Cutting edge facility offering extensive medical services such as transplant, cardiac care, etc. - Women hold several leadership positions, including the CEO, Kim Russo. Her leadership style exemplifies strength, integrity, and respect in the work place. - Department leadership was solid, cared about their teams, and willingly collaborated with HR. - Internal transfer / growth opportunities.
Cons
- Extremely busy hospital = challenging HR workload. - Two HR partners carry a very heavy load with approximately 2500 employees. Standard employee relations and misc. HR responsibilities, but also required to be actively involved in time consuming work place safety committee, employee engagement committee, and multiple additional special initiatives. - Work load never lightens and always feels like a three alarm fire drill. Difficult to maintain quality results with the work volume and have work / life balance.
