Pros

Moderate level of name prestige. Reasonably stable employment. Excellent opportunity to learn new skills, because the 100+ year old building and equipment is in constant need of repair and upgrading.

Cons

No equity within most departments, many have HFH employees working side-by-side with contract employees performing identical job descriptions, but woefully diverse job stability, pay rates, and benefits. Many patient support areas have contract managers with oversight of HFH employees. This structure creates a great deal of animosity within departments and results in very low morale in many areas. The only meaningful communication is through gossip and rumors. Upper management does little to even attempt to communicate with front-line managers and it only get worse further down the food chain. Upper management holds tyrannical, myopic reins over lower level management and is closed to new ideas. No work - life balance. Front line managers are expected to be available 24-7-365, 60+ hour work weeks are common. Phone calls at 1 or 2 am are a regular occurance. Good ol' boy network at it's best. Many HFH managers are underqualifed for their positions, but well-received by upper management.
