Pros
I feel that in the time I was with HCA, I had a profoundly positive impact on my community, and for that, I'm immensely grateful. wonderful, dedicated local team I worked with. I learned a ton, and made the most of the experience, even though I had little support from senior sales leadership. For the industry, if you're a strong performer the compensation is great. Yet there's a caveat to that - they keep changing what they commit to which repeatedly will hurt you financially - whether it's base pay, bonuses, cars etc.
Cons
My star ratings only relate to the sales division. I've never writen a review, yet I feel it's essential to share for any prospective candidates. I'm not a "bitter low performer." I've been a top performer my entire career and was for HCA, yet over and over again, they made a commitment and didn't follow through. my career has spanned decades, and have never experienced a company that has repeatedly broken my trust. Lastly, I've never worked for an organization where there's little talk about outcomes or quality of care; in other industries at national meetings, you'd have patients/customers share their stories of the difference you made. This never happened at HCA. I'm all about growing the bottom line AND making a difference in the world. You need to model this to inspire your team.
