Pros

It is a place to work

Cons

No work-life balance. Bonuses to regular employees are based on customer service in the emergency department which the other departments have no control over. Bonus is supposedly a max of $750 but all system employees are receiving $84 for the yearly bonus, Cobb hospital employees get $64, Douglas employees get $300, not exactly fair especially when upper management gets thousands in bonuses. The benefits are a joke, very expensive and terrible service. The IT department in particular is a nightmare. Employees are resigning on a weekly basis and no one cares. Going to H.R. is a sure way to get targeted and there are no employee advocates. Employee surveys are sent out and the results speak volumes but management just puts teams in a room and berates them for the poor scores. Been there 12 years and it is worse now than I have ever seen by far. No oversight anywhere. The foxes run the hen house.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
