Pros

Nice clean and fancy hospital, great ideas.

Cons

Overabuse of middle-managers. Used a "village" approach to running the floors and either you were in or out. Very low pay. Threats from lower management. Inadequately educated managers.

Pros

The company is well positioned for the upcoming changes in healthcare. The field I'm in will explode in coming years, as tighter patient management will be needed with healthcare reform. The work is constantly changing, but this is out of necessity. I'm treated as a professional, rather than a number, and have fairly wide latitude to do my job as I see fit i.e. I'm not micromanaged. There is a high sense of pride amongst my co workers, which makes coming to work much easier.

Cons

The company has high expectations, which may be a con for some people (although not for me). However, I look at it as job security. If everyone becomes complacent, they run the risk of the company failing, and thus losing their job .

Pros

good pay compared to smaller hospitals around. Good working with employees. Fun to to work with. Very knowledgeable doctors from prominent medical, dental and other medical backgrounds

Cons

Where do i start. First, manegment thinks they know what is best. They think they know everything there is to know about a certain field. Some of the administrators don't have a bacchelors degree. Most have an associates or some form of high school. They told me that I can't work extra hours but I can fill in on a shift. I do not get OT. I can only work a certain amount of hours and they yell at me when I make more than usual. They want the staff to work at its maximum x25, but have the minimalist amount of aid from other empoyees and attention of administrators. They want to cut corners by thinking they have more education than a doctor. The hosital is tp heavy. 600-650 doctors and about 300-450 nurses. The reest of the 3,000-5,000 employees are hospital administrators who do not generate income. Those are some of the main points. There are thousands of reasons. Gleen Steele wants to spend millions of dollars on new hospitals, but fails to realize that the hospital is short several hundred doctors, pharmasicts, nurses, Physical Therapists, dentists, and psychologists. There are always an endless supply of administators. For every one doctor, there are 4-5 other administators.
