Business Outlook
Pros
The mission of Metrohealth is to provide care to all without regard for ability to pay; this leads to some great and dedicated staff who want to work urban poor populations. Great teaching hospital, with opportunities for clinicians to become heavily involved in resident education. Good benefits for medical staff, including sick time separate from vacation time. Good retirement benefits.
Cons
Lots of cuts due to tightening finances; not much news from higher management. There was a notable gap in clinicians with a lot of newer folks (under 7 years at the hospital) leaving for other jobs. Low salaries relative to other hospitals.
