Pros

Employee benefits are good. The District promotes healthy lifestyles ("Duh" it's a hospital district!). Once you become part of a team, everyone is willing to commiserate with you. There are middle managers and employees who do care a lot about what they're doing.

Cons

Management leadership -- especially in the IT arena -- is lacking. Everyone is too afraid to act upon new recommendations/suggestions for fear of being the one who causes outages/problems. HIPAA and JCAHO compliance causes the District to go ridiculously far past necessary requirements. (Why does an IT person have to take "Patient Bowel Management" compliance training?) The inventiveness or creative ideas guru for the hospital only promotes clinic-side ideas. The back end of the organization needs its infrastructure updated to support the driving force at the front end.

Pros

Benefits are good, salaries competitive

Cons

HCHD is rife with petty politics, especially in IT. It is a cliquish, good old boy network. You are not judged by your job, you are only judged by how much you kiss up to management. There is no comprehensive process for challenging a bad performance review. No career development or career management whatsoever.

Pros

HCHD has very competitive Benefits to include Retirement plans. Also very generous with their personal time off. CEO believes heavily in what he is doing.

Cons

Certain areas are part of the good ol boy network. Some in the Executive ranks and many in the senior leadership do not have college degrees or big box experience. This is evident in their lack of true "business" skills to effectively and efficiently lead the organization
