Pros

It's local and the facilities for the most part are beautiful...you can see where they spend their money.

Cons

They say they are non-profit, but it is definitely all about the money here. A lot of talk about the budget, yet the CEO salary is the highest in local area and the among the top 15 in the Midwest. Funny how they could only afford to give the employees a 1.5 percent raise. For a health care organization their health benefits are awful. Many employees had to drop it because they couldn't afford it any more. Suggestions given to administration goes in one ear and right out the other. Nothing changes if you bring forth issues or concerns, it's the same old same old. The culture is a selfish one with many arrogant physicians. Ideas brought forth on moving projects forward to managers are taken as their own. Never mind giving credit where credit is due. Work life balance is awful as well, it's all about meeting the needs of their projects. No appreciation for how you put your work before your personal life.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, great employee perks, room for employees to use thier best judgement in clinical settings. Well prepared protocols to follow.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive compared to other major healthcare employers in the area but it seems they may be reconsidering this decision.

Pros

Company culture is very strong and TRULY encourages collaboration and employee recognition. Job security is no issue. Most management in IS has a great set of ideas and wonderful execution (most of the time). Listens to employee feedback and does it's best to recognize employees and their opinions. Nationally recognized for outstanding healthcare. Also, I love working for a not-for-profit.

Cons

Salary salary salary salary... Most IT analysts elsewhere make 40% more these days. The company is expanding too rapidly. ROI for new facilities seems to be crawling and everything else is taking a hit as a result. KHN seems to have this idea that over-saturating the market will allow it to compete with the other, smaller networks in the region who appear to be far more efficient. We have 8 hospitals... The next largest in Dayton? Two. This is causing very high turnover rates and angering seasoned veterans who have been with the company many years, some to the point of seriously considering going elsewhere. There are politics, but nothing out of the ordinary, I would say. Awkward meetings at times due to the organization being a Seventh-Day-Adventist organization. Charles Kettering was not SDA, so why should we be forced to adhere to religious doctrine at work? This isn't a huge issue, but it's a thorn in my side as I am atheist and consider any discussion on religion and politics to be grossly unprofessional in the workplace.
