Great Benefits, Bad management

Pros

Great benefits, great healthcare provider. Nice working environment and intellegent co-workers/employees.

Cons

Indifferent management, pay is low for staff - excessive for management. They outsource and hire contractors instead of FTEs to save costs. Use 'callibration' for assigning performance review ratings by people you don't even work for - so "favored" employees get raises and bonuses, while others get short changed.

Pros

Focused on building and maintaining the health of the population they serve. Data and outcomes driven. Willing to change practice based on evidence. Good deal of respect and credence paid to those with clinical backgrounds. Innovative. Very attuned to labor. Some of senior leadership are visionary and motivating.

Cons

It's big. Easy to get lost in the shuffle, or to understand your part. Occasionally, business gets in the way of care delivery. Decisions made at corporate levels sometimes don't work on the ground, yet the organization is slow to recognize it. Tendency to take on to many things at once, resulting in an unclear understanding of priorities. Very attuned to labor. Some of senior leadership are very difficult, and honestly don't know what they are doing, yet remain because those who report to them prop them up.
