Pros

Health insurance options, retirement, vacation and sick time. Helping patients and family members during this difficult time in their lives. Getting to work with great doctors and nurses

Cons

Very poor, unprofessional management. The assistant managers of medical oncology and radiology make the work environment very hostile with the way they treat the staff they oversee. The conversations and the way they speak to the office coordinators and care coordinators is very inappropriate. Staff is completely overworked and underpaid and you are "counseled" if you try to work overtime and questioned why your work isn't completed before your shift has ended. Unless you are willing to make the commute to Manhattan, MSK Commack is a dead end job with no opportunity for advancement. The staff is a constant rotating door and although many staff members have filed complaints about management, HR rarely gets involved to help investigate and or rectify issues that are arising. This will continue to be an issue until HR steps in to see why staff keep resigning from their positions to work at other local healthcare institutions

Pros

1. Decent work schedules. 2. Able to work independently and learn about different aspects of the Supply Chain other than shipping and receiving. 3. Very much an active job, not a desk job. 4. Medical Benefits were incredible, the free zoo and aquarium visit when set up, Nursing day with the food was excellent. 5. Cafeteria was excellent and delicious, not what you expect in a cafeteria, with various dishes from different cultures. 6. You have some management that takes the time to listen to you and help you in your career but it's very few.

Cons

1. The hospital management only cares about its medical staff. You, as an employee, can easily replace you, and they make this clear in hidden messages. It has a lot of double standards on what you can do as a Support Services verse what nursing can do. 2. There is no room for growth in the place. Do not let them tell you that there is because that is a bald-faced lie. A Logistics Associate that doesn't fall under Supply Chain is usually under nursing, and there is no Logisitcs Associate Lead. They make it comfortable for you to grow or make changes along the way. The only way to become a leader is death, retirement, or a new building under Supply Chain. But be careful because even then, the person in charge of the project may have their eyes set on a candidate long before the post is created. 3. Inclusion and Diversity.- After the George Floyd incident, many changes regarding promotions, job changes, and progression were to happen. It was just talking. In this place, Nurses control every aspect of the work environment from Environmental to technology. So for these rapid changes to happen, it must be implemented with Nursing weeding out all of the bad leadership, all of the hostility in the facility, and also from the top down. But they look at the bottom up. If you are in a career or job for more than two years and want change then go to another company because the HR department will give you every reason why you do not qualify. The tension in the air is felt all around in the hospital a division between Medical Staff and everyone else.

Pros

Great coworkers .....A true plus

Cons

No advancement in the Office Coordinator position at all, if you are enrolled in school -the OC positions are not for you . Office hours are 9-5 period. No remote options no staggered hours -nothing -Zero - Also Care Coordinators will become a Practice Leaders/Managers way way way before a Office Coordinator. Within 2 years a CC can become your boss . Benefits are not great -prepare to pay into your medical and dental plan and the bigger your family the more you will pay - also tuition reimbursement is not for everyone. No annuity or pension options anymore -a equal position at a NYC HHC hospital has better benefits and better work hours , which is surprising considering Sloan wants to appear as if they have successful employer -employee relationship and are ahead of the local competing hospitals.
