Pros

Clinical groups know what they're doing and have created amazing medical programs, which create a good reputation in the area.

Cons

HR leadership is hostile, unprofessional, and disrespectful. These leaders run meetings and say the ocasional curse word here and there (executive leaders). They think they're funny, but they don't understand that it's the most ridiculous representation of HR. It's a circus. They're very unprofessional and unethical. They humilliate us and are condescending, bossy and very difficult especially our more direct supervisors. We don't get any support from them. They bring us down if we don't have an answer to a specific question and don't hesitate to do it in public as well -the louder, the better. Executive leadership ignores it. People are afraid to speak about the way they're treated as they're worried about losing their jobs. These leaders promote their friends and have outside personal relationships with their staff (unethical relationships), and they get away with all of it. The number of changes in process is overwhelming. Leaders change processes daily and don't seem to know what they're doing. It's very frustrating. They seem to be completely disconnected from the work we do and what they think we do. We are treated like slaves. The prior comment about HR being a slave ship is true. A lot of us will start to speak up if the environment doesn't change.

Pros

Close to home, easy commute for me

Cons

Clinical staff (nurses and techs) are not valued by management. Employees are essentially warm bodies that can get tasks done. Very frequently short staffed with little or no effort to improve this problem. Upper level management will occasionally breeze through the department with some sort of "treat" (ice cream sandwiches) in an attempt to improve morale which the majority of us find insulting to our intelligence. Lots of bureaucracy and red tape, very little thinking outside of the box. Pay is woefully low considering the cost of living in this area. Upper level administration makes exorbitant salaries/bonuses and for what? Nauseating culture of using and abusing nurses while the 9-5'ers keep their heads buried in the sand as they cash their six figure checks. Wake up Inova, you would not exist if it weren't for the nurses that provide the care for the masses.

Pros

Health and Exercise Classes; discounted. Some amazing Physicians and Nurses

Cons

Their HR Division is beyond broken. Every year a new group of leaders come in with 'amazing' new ideas and they are all fired by the end of the year. I can't imagine working in this chaos. The Director never responds to emails, never has yet somehow continues to get promoted. The great HR staff leave, the very low performers of course stay. There is not one thing that works. You are bounced around from person to person to get an answer on just about anything. Recruitment is a nightmare. Potential employees/applicants never get called back and most directors/managers are simply forced to bypass their systems to get anything accomplished. How the board has not investigated this group; we will never know.
