Pros

Pay is decent compared to some smaller places.

Cons

In the laboratory or if you are a nurse, be prepared to work hard. Just about every single Memorial ER location gets swamped. From the lab perspective, they ask you to do too much per person just to see if it's possible for you to do more work. They enjoy operating on a skeleton crew so be prepared. As a nurse, the customer service aspect of your job can be even more demanding than you might be used to. Certain locations have management issues but there it's not system wide. The hiring process is long and tedious. I've also seen older people that get paid more since they've been there awhile pressured to resign, this really put a damper on my enthusiasm for the company. Also, they will have you take surveys while simultaneously obstructing you as to how you should fill it out. If you don't do your self evaluation in time you will not get your full (already small) raise. Raises are from around 1.5 to 3% annually.

Pros

MHHS has a lot of different departments and offices that allow you to move around while staying within the organization. Potential for different job opportunities for some employees.

Cons

There was a lack of focus on professional development. You just needed to come in and do the job you were hired to do but not try and work with Management to grow. Opportunities were given to some, but not equitable for all.

Pros

convenient to home, nice prestige to work here over the other large hospital system in Houston; coworkers were very passionate about their job

Cons

The management, specifically the CHRO (Chief HR officers) in the group. Bunch of evil women who love to backstab each other and get drunk in "staff" meetings. Horrible place to grow your HR career - you might as well be an HR person for a cleaning company. The CEO was aloof and was rarely pleasant to anyone who didn't work on the 27th floor - he still called us "personnel."
