Pros
None that I can think of now. Everything has went downhill in the last 5 years. Used to be a great employer, now it's not. So no Pros at all.
Cons
Management turnover has been insane, and will continue to be insane, because University of Colorado--UCHealth--is poorly managed (They bought/leased Memorial). Memorial has been poorly managed for the last 5 or 6 years, but there was a lot of hope when UCHealth came in and bought us. Unfortunately, that hope was misplaced. As an organization, we have been losing money for the last 7 years. UCHealth came in and put in emergency cost-cutting procedures. But then they lost their CEO, and now they are fumbling for what to do. Everything is disorganized and LOSING money. Just look up Memorial articles the local papers (Gazette and the Independent) and you will see all of the financial issues. The reason for these issues is because of poor management and also because of very low morale. I have been a full-time employee here for over 10 years, and I would NOT bring my family here for care. Trust me on this, care here has gotten very poor. Nurse morale is way down. Most of the causes for these issues can be narrowed down to mismanagement, executives who don't know what they are doing, and way way way too much middle management. Lots of middle managers need to be shown the door. Also, the entire Memorial organization is very oudated when it comes to computers. Most of the staff does NOT know how to work a computer, and our IT (formerly called IS) department doesn't know either. Many of the computer programs still run very outdated Windows versions and many even still use DOS for their programs. Basically they have not updated their technical infrastructure since 1987. I'm not kidding or exaggerating. I do think that this may change with UCHealth coming in, but seriously?! HR is a joke and have no idea how modern companies are supposed to be run. Our CEO and CFO recently got fired, on the SAME day with no notice! That pretty much sums up how bad things are. The new CEO, George Hayes, won't be here for long either. His wife didn't even move here, so most employees think that he'll be on the job for only a year or two at the most. (it's 2014 as I write this.) By the way, in the last 6 years, we have been through four CEOS. yeah, 4 in six years. That's how crazy it is. And the current one won't be here long either--he doesn't even live here in town.
