The following is my opinion and events listed are as I remember them. In my opinion any positions outside of nursing, physicians and their support staff are viewed as liabilities....not assets to this organization. In fact, the exact description from one of the top officers of the organization referring to a support employee at corporate was "a necessary evil." If you want to work at an organization that views you as a "necessary evil" then you have come to the right place. I was disgusted when I heard this and knew my tenure here would be as short as I could manage. The really for me summarized how they treat their employees. If you want to give 5, 10, 15, 20 years to an organization only for them to lay you off as a reward, again, you have come to the right place.
Go to their headquarters and walk around the first level of the covered parking structure and you'll see why people can't afford healthcare anymore. It's basically like an episode of MTV Cribs. Porsche, Mercedes, BMW......at a "nonprofit." There's very little that's not-for-profit here other than their company structure. Speaking of the executives, it seems to be a pattern here that they routinely miscalculate or go over budget causing a company-wide panic to save money every 3-5 years. When they do, look out, they're chopping heads. Not in the areas they really need to, but in positions that have absolute minuscule impacts on the overall costs of the organization. If you're so poor at consistently managing budgets, why are you still executives? Any for profit publicly traded organization would have gutted this executive team and board a long time ago.
This is definitely one of those places where they seem to put who you're friends with before results and performance. Many times it would be a joke around the office about who was and wasn't being promoted. Knowing and befriending the right people goes a LONG way here....especially in the upper tiers. You can chronically under-perform for years and you'll keep getting raises until basically you jump out of the plane with your golden parachute.
The toxicity of some of the teams here is truly world class. Backstabbing, threatening, and just overall management 101 - how not to do things. I was privy one of the most disgusting unprofessional terminations of my professional career here.
Extremely silo'd you definitely don't want to get on the bad side of certain groups of the "in crowd" regardless if your sole intention is to help the organization.
