Pros

- Competitive salary for the region - Very good benefits (medical, dental, 401k, PTO) - Fair and balanced internal promotion review process

Cons

- Work/life balance. Consistently short staffed for the amount of work and most of us have at least 2 FTE worth of work at any given time, so always behind the eight ball and little time available to do proactive/R&D work, particularly in regards to analytics and IT application development. - The company pushes an extremely liberal culture and values, which is highly inappropriate for a health system which should be nonpartisan toward all patients and employees.

Pros

My team is the best!

Cons

They put directors in charge of functions they don’t actually understand, then surround themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear instead of what the organization needs to hear. The result is predictable: poor decisions, endless bureaucracy, and little accountability. They constantly talk about financial pressures while outsourcing work under the guise of “strategic partnerships” when it’s really about cutting costs. Cost reduction isn’t a strategy if you’re sacrificing capability, institutional knowledge, and long-term performance. My biggest concern is that they’ll continue making the same mistakes across other business functions before realizing the damage they’ve done. The organization has an extraordinary amount of tenure, but that’s not always a strength. Too often, poor performance is tolerated instead of addressed. Keeping low performers indefinitely while failing to invest in and reward high-performing talent creates unnecessary overhead and mediocrity. If they built teams around excellence instead of longevity, they’d likely achieve better results with fewer resources. Unless you’re looking for a corporate environment where there is zero accountability, conversations go in circles and leadership is more focused on protecting its own agenda than making difficult decisions, I wouldn’t recommend spending your time here.
